Hi,

I am using XML export to generate word files. But older office versions (Office 2000 and Office XP) can not open this kind of files.

How do I handle this problem? Is anyone knows any alternative office application to browse and edit WordML files. Or should I export in any other format, but how?

Thanks

1. Did you check if there is converter for backward compatibility (like there is for OpenXML)?

2. I believe OpenOffice can open and edit WordML files, and also save them in older formats (and it's free).

3. Hard to suggest alternatives without knowing the purpose. Surely a plain text format would be compatible with just about anything…

thanks,

I look for converter or add-in for older office versions. I only find Polar WordML addin for office, but it does not work. And plain text is not solve my problem. I am using some tables, fonts ...etc.

I'll download and try Open Office.

thanks for your help again.
