Default Open MS Office 2007 file with older versions of Office?

Today I guess almost every new user uses Microsoft office 2007 as their support software because of its advanced features and better user interface. But still one thing that comes in way of 2007's popularity is its file format.
With Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft introduced a new set of file formats: .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx , which are not compatible with previous Microsoft Office versions. So if a friends of yours gives you a Word 2007 document and you use Word XP, an error message appears before you. Luckily, the fix is easy:

1.You can use the Office plugin named Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats. MOCPWEP2007FF enables you to open/edit/save Office 2007 documents in Office 2000, 2003, or XP without any work on your part. Just make sure that your office has the latest Service Pack installed - either SP3 for Office 2000 and XP, or SP1 for Office 2003.

2.If you don’t want to go all that difficulty and you just need to convert a single .docx file, point your browser to docx-converter.com. Upload your file, select your preferred format (.doc is just one choice), and enter your email address. In a moment, you should get a note containing a link to download the converted file. It’s a free service.

That online link can be really useful at my work place where we are still using Office 2003. Thanks for sharing.

I was wanting to know if you can tell me why when using Office Excel 2007 with Windows 7 I am having problems opening and seeing all of the information saved in a file from a previous version? When opening the file for a brief second I see the selection buttons but then the selection buttons disappear. I have enabled the Macros when opening it but still having the problem. It also says it is in compatability mode.
Thanks for any help you can offer..

thanks..
