The 2007 Microsoft Office system introduces a set of new file formats that are not directly compatible with older versions of Office. Enterprises using Office 2000, Office XP, or Office 2003 should install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack to enable users to open the new file types. There is currently no conversion software available for versions older than Office 2000 for Windows. A converter for Mac users will begin beta testing in the spring of this year.
