Hi guys.
I know that for opening Office 2007 files in prior Office versions like 2000-2003, one would need the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack.
But if I install the pack instead on Office 2007, would it be of any use or would it harm my system instead?
No, it wont be of any use, rather it is completely unnecessary. Although it should not harm, i wont be surprised if it detects office 2007 and aborts the installation process.
Actually, I initially had Office 2003 installed.
Then later I installed the compatibility pack as I hadn't bought Office 2007.
Then, when I did by it, it uninstalled Office 2003 but not the compatibility pack.
So was wondering whether it's needed or not.
You yourself can better answer the question. If you get files from your friends which are created in new office format then why won't you install them on ur computer?
Actually, I did have it installed.
And I didn't see any performance, feature gain/add-on.
Instead, I had to install additional updates for it in addition to Office 2007's own updates.
