It is amazing how many people seem to be able to post a question
(without any context) and seem to have never read anything in the NG
they are asking in.

If you really want an answer just give us a few clues what the hell you
are on about, clairvoyance is a figment of your imagination .

To post in these newsgroups, type in a subject like 'Opening documents', and
then in the main body of the post, tell us which application in Office 2000
you are using, and report any error messages generated..

I can read the question just find.
He/she want to open an office 2002 document in office 2000.
Unfortunately, he/she won’t be able to do this.

However, there is a workaround.
When using office 2002. Use save as. Then chose save as type word
97-2000

The only problem is headers do not line up correctly.


Mickey,
For you next post including your question in the body as well as the
subject. Reason, I think other news reader may cut of the subject
line.

While in a state of withdrawal waiting for components to arrive to repair
his dead laptop, Ed notices a message from "Greg R"

I can read the question just find.

Yes, he will, depending ont he product.

Many problems:
a) There is no such thing as Office 2002. Office XP was the product name -
the individual programs had version number 2002.
b) There are lots of different programs within Microsoft Office, and each
has a different procedure. With Microsoft Word, and I think also Excel and
PowerPoint, you can open documents created in the 2002 version WITHOUT
having to do a Save As.... If you look under Save As in Word 2002, you will
not see "Word 97 - 2000" - you will see "Word document (*.doc)", and then
various previous version options. Microsoft Access 2002 I believe by
default creates databases in the Access 2000 file format, which can be
opened in Access 2000, but can also be switchd to use its own Access 2002
file format. With Microsoft Publisher files you have to Save As and select
the previous version.

Other newsreaders do not cut out the subject line, but if a long question is
posted int he subject line, it will be cut off. In addition, the eye
normally skips over the subject line to read the message body.

I've noticed an increase of long titles and no messages. I no longer use the
interface at MS's site and I heard that something changed so I checked it
out.

It is beyond me why we are getting any blank messages. The only thing I can
think of is the way they explained the summary:
"Subject should be a brief, meaningful summary of your question or comment.
People are more likely to respond to a post if they know what the issue is
by reading the Subject."

But the next paragraph says:
"Body should include a full description of the issue and what you want to
achieve as well as the version of the product you're using."

I realize that people visiting the site are there for help but I can't
figure out how they can *find* the site but can't figure out how to *use*
it.
