But they 'force' you to 'upgrade' somehow.
I run a fully legit copy of Office 2000.
I have office 2007 at work, and prefer the older one.
I have '97 at home and have to use 2010 at work. I do prefer the
older one but, as I stated in another post, I can't open "docx" files
with my version MS Office.
I still see no sign of you being forced to upgrade! ;-)
What if you want to open the docx file? They are trying to 'force'
you to 'upgrade'. My upgrade is to install and use OO instead.
You ask the author/sender to save it as DOC format?
A lot of people do not have the technical knowledge to do this,
believe it or not. As if often the case one receives important
documents shortly before a meeting and there is not time for the
document to be resent.
I've had important documents sent in all sort of weird formats. The
only one I can't open is Microsoft Works but others have trouble with
all but the old fashioned "doc" format.
I don't really think
you can blame MS for this.
I can blame MS for changing the format they use for document storage.
They have added the ability to use DOCX back as
far as 2003 I think. Not sure if it goes further. But you cannot expect
them to update every piece of software they have ever written.
They didn't have to change the format. It is a problem of their own
making.
At work we have to use 2010 as the sharepoint integration doesn't work
in earlier versions.
We have 2007 at work. Maybe that's why Sharepoint has always seemed so
****e! 
Sharepoint is ****e anyway.
