Posted by: Jason | | No Comments »

This month’s tip will help you if you still use an older version of Microsoft Office, and are struggling to open documents that are being sent to you in the new xml formats such as .docx or .xlsx.

Microsoft have a file you can install called fileformatconverters.exe which enables users of Office 2000, Office XP or Office 2003 to open the new files in their old versions of office.

Simply download the file from the link below, install the application and away you go, you don’t need to buy a new copy of office just to open the new file types. If you download the file and are still having problems why not give us a call on 01902 324494 and we’ll see if we can help.
