Thanks again for the replies. When I decided to move from my old PC with windows 7 to a new laptop and windows 11,m I appreciated that I would need to start a litte more learning and I'm getting there. The supplier ( Asus Vivobook Pro 15 Oled screem, Intek i9 16GB Ram and 1TB SSD) had installed...

MOVING ON .................... Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate all replies but have now sorted out my problem. Whilst Microsoft Office has been my mainstay for many years, I have only simple needs of word and Excel, so all the other bells and whistles are useless to me. The business...

Many thanks for the updated information Mal

Those replies are appreciated and surprising. Microsoft's own site states that versions of office before 2013 will not be supported by windows 11, so I assumed that my version of 2007 from 2010 would not work. I also saw several other statements saying the same. As some replies say they are...

On my old windows 7 PC (still here) I was running Office 2007 purchased years ago, but I only use and need Word and Excel. When I bought my new Laptop with windows 11, it had a small version or word and excel, but after trying Microsoft 365 and finding it a disaster, I uninstalled it but it also...

Just been looking at this and having had a few problems in windows 11 23H2 and seeing yet more problems with the nest 'improvement'?, I have just turned off my updates. Hope that's right. I did try to reply to one of the answers, but was moved to something called 'X' to join. Can someone tell...

Thanks to you all for responding and sorry I have not been as clear as I should because I dont know the answers to the simple requests. GLASSKUTER ................. your last reply was the easiest for me to understand and probably the best way to go. I am still running the windows 7 PC and...

The documents transferred from my old windows 7 pc to my windows 11 laptop, were microsoft word - 2007 I think. Initially they were ok, but have since become unreadable and will not open - (screenshot above). I am still looking for the answer on how to change or read these documents on my...

I have tried 'repair' but it does nothing. The documents can not be opened. They were transferred from my windows 7 pc which I believe uses word 2007 but not sure which word is in my new laptop with windows 11. screenshots in previous answers.

Thanks Berton. I would have though that windows 11 would have had all the latest updates, but if I understand you correct;y, word documents from my windows 7 saved in windows 11 on the laptop will always be doomed???It has been a while since I moved them to the laptop and they seemed OK, so can...

I have also copied th enlarged icons which show a coloured square bottom left on the files that it cannot open - if this helps?

Thank you. I have already searched several times but cant get something to work. I have the latest word in windows 11, not sure of the actual number or where to find it ??? Just seeing if others have had the same problem and what they used to correct it. just wrote another letter, saved and...

In my documents folder, most of the word documents will not open because the computer cannot read them. It suggests using a text recovery converter, but finding this is not easy. Most of the search is from paid Apps? Any sugesstions would be appreciated
