I was recently handed the task of updating some systems for a restaurant and realized that they are running MS office 1997. Not a bad thing, but the owner wants me to upgrade them to the most current version and I am worried about the compatability between them. Can word 2007 open/convert these old files? If not, what do I do? There are a few hundred word files scattered all over the system and it would take forever to find/retype them all. Any suggestions?
