Have you ever bothered with the change of fonts when you save your Office 2007 Application in 2003 or lower version. The most annoying things is that we must redesign our own tables or pages when we change fonts. That’s, of course, consuming time, especially if we spend hours designing ours.
Microsoft has done some nice work on their new fonts. However, these fonts only come with Vista (and the Office 2007 programs). But what if you’re using Windows XP and Office 2003 and want to install these fonts? Well, you can’t get them easily using the standard things you’d think of, like going to the Microsoft site and downloading and installing them. That won’t work as Vista fonts can’t be installed on Windows XP (i.e. you can’t get a copy of a font installed on Vista, then install it on XP using the usual XP font installation methods).
What WILL work is downloading and installing the free file format conversion application—the program that allows Office 2003 users to view documents, presentations etc. created in Office 2007. That install the converters AND the new fonts!
Now, all you need to do is downloading Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats. Download and Install this package and your beloved font will be installed in your machine automatically.
With this compatibility pack, you can Open, edit, and save documents, workbooks, and presentations in the file formats new to Microsoft Office Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007.
NOTES
- Users of the Microsoft Office XP and 2003 programs Word, Excel, or PowerPoint—please install all High-Priority updates from Microsoft Update before downloading the Compatibility Pack.
- Update: The Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 1 (SP1) is available here.
