Tips for converting to Office 2007 file format

Compatibility

Most Systems2win templates are delivered in a format that is compatible with Office 97 through 2003.
(Although some advanced features are not fully supported by Excel 97, 2000. See Known Issues.)

Our initial experience is that most of the Word templates convert to 2007 without a problem.

Keep an eye on our What's New page - where we will announce when each bundle of Excel templates in turn is upgraded to fully support Office 2007.

We have found that most of the simpler Excel templates convert to 2007 without any unique bugs (other than the not-really-ready-for-release issues inherent with the initial version of Excel 2007). Our more sophisticated Systems2win templates, however, will require significant reprogramming to work with Excel 2007, and we are in the process of doing that programming now.

If different people in your work team use various versions of Microsoft Office
then you will probably want to leave your working documents in Office 97-2003 Compatibility mode.

If everyone on your work team uses Office 2007
then you might want to convert your documents into the new Office 2007 format - which enables all of the new features of Office 2007, but sacrifices some backward compatibility.

To convert a file, simply select File > Convert.

This will automatically convert your file into the most appropriate file format for Office 2007. (.xlsm for Excel, or .docx for Word)
Tip: All Systems2win Excel templates require macros to be enabled.
