The issue is when you save your document with Office 2007, be default they are saved in .docx which is not readable by older versions of Word (they use .doc extention) 1) You can eaither save it as "Word for Office 2003" in your Office 2007 from the drop down menu 2) See this article to convert http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/11/download-office-2007-converter-word.html
