Word 2007 is not the same product. It's a completely new version of
word. Backwards compatible means that the new version of the product
should be able to handle files created with earlier versions of the
product. Not that the new version should not do anything the older
version doesn't understand. New product versions are always going to
have capabilities that the earlier versions of the product is not able
to deal with. How could they know?

So what you are telling me is that Word 2007 does not have the
capacity to save a document in a earlier version of Word? Or that an
earlier version of Word can not take the text from a Word 2007
document and use it?

Word 2007 ***CAN*** save in a format compatible with earlier versions of
Word.

One more strike against Vista.

Now Tom, Read this slowly:

This issue with Word 2007 has NOTHING to do with Vista. Erase the idea from
your head.

Nothing.

Nada.

Zip.

I stand corrected on this single point of Word 2007 belonging to
solely to Vista.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

Correct, it has nothing to do with vista.

And if you want it to be in a format compatible with earlier versions
of word you simply have to choose that when saving.

But it's default format is not because it implemented new features
that are not compatible with earlier releases. I don't see how you're
confused about that, all products do that. You can install any number
of "older" versions of products and find that they can not handle the
files created by the current version of the same product. It's not
just word. Features in a word processor typically require that codes
be stored in the document file with the text to activate that
feature. So if you want a piece of text flash on and off a section of
codes gets stored with that text so that when the software opens it
again it knows to make the text flash. If you open it with a version
of the software that is older and was not able to make the text flash
it will not know what to do with those codes.
