The majority of Microsoft Office users at Bethany have versions of Office 2003, or earlier versions. This means that they're not able to open files from Office 2007.

If you're an Office 2007 user who will be sending a file to other people on campus, you can avert problems by saving your file as a "Word 97-2003 document." You can find the option in the "Save as type" drop-down box in the "Save As" window. Choosing this option means that anyone you send the document to will be able to open it.
