Word 2007 margin problems "Lex" <u34639[ at ]uwe> 5/30/2007 7:04:48 PM I just updated to Word 2007 and when finished typing I turn my word docs in and then they are to get converted to WP 5.1 is this compatible or possible. Also while typign my margins need to be set at 1" but when I go to tab and turn my work in it is moving my margins where I had tabs. For example AdvLft 1" L/R margin: 2", 1" Any ideas for this? Am I supposed to change the style set of what I am typing in? Thank you.

You might do better saving the documents from Word 2007 in Word 97-2003 format - or even directly to WP5.1 format, which I believe is still an option. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Lex wrote: [Quoted Text] > I just updated to Word 2007 and when finished typing I turn my word > docs in and then they are to get converted to WP 5.1 is this > compatible or possible.

I have tried saving directly to WP5.1 format and it states that "Word cannot save WP 5.1 for DOS files. The converter for this format can only open files". Is there a way to change this? Or how exactly do I save in Word 97- 2003 format, do I just change the margins to that version and the style change and that is it? Thanks for the help. -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/ms-word-general/200705/1

This appears to be another that has lost functionality :( Save as Word 97-2003 document is one of the standard save as options in Word 2007. RTF format is even more universal and works! -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Lex via OfficeKB.com wrote: [Quoted Text] > Graham Mayor wrote: >> I would have thought that the chances of converting a Word 2007 >> document to WP 5.1 format without formatting changes would be pretty >> slim.
