    You cannot do this, without an extension that you have to download. If you cannot do this - save the file on your computer as an older Microsoft Word version.

    if you cant save it as a 2003 version then you can down load a viewer. this is the same with all 2007 office applications

    Ok, first download this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?Fa...

    Then you should be able edit and open the documents.

    In the future, while saving the file at school there will be a "save as type" box. Click it then click World 97-2003 (*.doc). Good luck with your homework. =)

    when you save it, click save as.

    in the menu under the document name, change the type of file to a Word 93-2003 document. (compatible format)

    You can't open it on 2003 unless you used the "save as" option in 2007. There is no "backward compatibility". Sorry.
