I am looking at having my company purchase Office 2007 Pro for my work laptop. They are a little hesistant on buying the license because of the compatability issues with older programs. I am aware of the compatability patch that Microsoft has released for the non-2007 owners to download so they can save, edit and view in the new format.
My question is for the people that have 07 is if you "save as" for 2002 Excel are there any issues for the person with the older Excel as far as editing and saving. Here is my senero, I work in a subsidiary and we don't want to make corp download the compatability software. They are on Office 2002, will they be able to use the data if they DO NOT download the compatability software and I save as an older format?
