Khó khăn với Microsoft Office 2007: Cách giải quyết Problem: In Office 2007, by default, all the files are saved in new file formats (*.docx, *.pptx, *.xlsx). These new file formats are different from the old file formats (*.doc, *.ppt, *.xls), and cause the following problems. The default new file format cannot be opened in Office 2003 or previous versions if compatibility pack is not installed.
Some programs (applications) have not released patches, fixes to open the new file format.
Mac users cannot open the new file format at all.
New office 2007 formats cause problems!!!


Solutions: We strongly recommend you NOT to upgrade to Office 2007 until other software companies release patches, and until more people download the file compatibility pack.
Please follow the instructions which suit you:MAC users:
• There is NOT yet a compatibility pack available for MAC users.
• If you cannot open a file because it is in the new office file format, please contact the author or instructor to convert the file to the old Office format.
• In spring 2007, Microsoft plans to release a beta of the file format converters for the current version. See more information at
