Is Office 2013 backward compatible with Office 2003 files and/or Office 2007 files
Note OS for new PC with Office 2013 is Windows 8.
(1) Is Office 2013 backward compatible with Office 2003 files nad/or Office 2007 files (i.e Will Office 2013 read WITH NO EXPLICIT USER EFFORT (ie NOT use Office 2003 to Office 2007 conversion programs supplied for free from MS). ie. Will Word read Word 2003 files AUTOMATICALLY.
(2) Same as (1) except compatibility with Office 2007, not Office 2003. My problem here is customer PC (running Win XP) does not boot and customer does not remember which version of Office (2003 or 2007) he was using? Now once I get onsite I have a way of accessing his HD and can quickly find out what version of Office he had but I prefer to know the answer to above questions for BOTH CASES rather than figure it out onsite.
I fix PCs for a living and this is for a job starting tomorrow at 3 PM EST so I request answers BEFORE then to both (1) and (2) but especially (1). I STRONGLY SUSPECT thazt Office 2013 is backward compatible with Office 2007 which has different format files tham Office 2003 had.

Mike

you might get points here plus there. Problem is NO ONE has responded to EE question at above link yet but it been only about 1 1/4 hour since I posted it. Questions is essentially does Win 8 support Windows Live mail and what version of WLM (2012 ??) plus some stuff about converting Outlook Express to WLM 2012 (I knpw how to do it for 1st MS early WLM but not WLM 2012) but do not reply here., please reply to EE question at above link.
When I have a moment points will be awarded to both of you for your posts already here. And if you can answer the harder question at above link you will get more points too.

Mike
