How to open newer edition docx files ????
From 2007 and onward files docx files ???

Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack 2007

Works with 97 and can open docx

this seems like artificial way of stopping you from using 97 since there is no need to change the document formats

>productive
>features multiple games embedded into the program as easter eggs
Try again, GOAT Office was 2003.

>our system of upgraded software involves making trivial changes to save formats and nothing else
This world deserves what it's going to get.

I have LibreOffice if I need to download and open an office file from the internet. (Can I not open office docs in browsers too?)

But an old MSOffice like 97 or 2000 is nice to have if you only have basic needs. I only keep a few basic spreadsheets and I only ever type basic letters etc. Excel 2000 and Word 2000 are perfectly adequate for that, not to mention very comfy.

abandonware websites and the internet archive have lots of versions available for your downloading pleasure.

I just downloaded Office 2003 a few days ago, 16yo software and it still rocks. Also light as fuck

It's certainly where UI design peaked. All software released after Office 97 has been increasingly cutesy and condescending.

i liked 2007 best

My dad bought it in 1999. I still have the CDs.

can you install the sidebar?

2007 version is the last good version. Pretty much everything started going downhill in 2007.

Sometimes I feel like clippy was the only one who ever cared.

Those bedroom eyes.

When was the ribbon introduced? That's when it went downhill.

>Insert Mode (I), Go back (Esc), Command (:)
>write (w), quit (q), force (!)
wow sure that was difficult, how inintuitive, I only use that and dd to delete a line, feels natural to me.
Now emacs.. that's an autistic editor.

I wouldn't say that. In 2007, the future was still bright. It was in 2012 that it all went to shit. Although you could very well say that 2007 did sow the seeds of destruction.

Absolutely false if you do anything more complex than middle school homework. Just look up Data analysis from excel 2013 and newer

>ribbon
What is that?

>ribbon

? I like the user interface in the 2007 because save is save and it's close enough to 2003 office

office xp and 2003 were good too

i don’t think 2007 was worse but the upset was harder to cope with than vista/x64

Got the zoomzooms

Oh look, it's like Libreofiice but horribly outdated garbage.

>en.m.wikipedia.org

Found the fucking phoneposter

Says a mobile user

LOL that is your problem with 2007? Did you know you can remove it and change it?

>.m.
>phoneposter
>zoomzooms (wtf)

How old are you, 12?

I guess you dont use excel or access then.

I think it peaked with Office 2010. It can do docx, has the Ribbon UI (helps me find stuff quicker) but comes without much of the telemetry and bloat that were included with later versions of Office. Plus it runs perfectly under WINE.

Also has OneDrive integration

Cloud bullshit, botnets and even aesthetic aspects aside, Office keeps getting better and better. Modern Excel is a work of art.

if you just can't get used to ribbon and prefer sticking to toolbars, you are technologically a lost cause

It's about customisability. On 97 I could pull out buttons I used often and have them in a toolbar. I could also hide buttons I didn't need. Ribbon doesn't allow for this so for me 97 is objectively faster. You fucking zoomer.

>objectively faster
this, why do so many ignore that detail

because zoomers are fucking dumb
they don't have brains

Productivity peaked just before they introduced Publisher and Powerpoint.

Ribbons are superior to toolbars whether you like it or not

I don't have the newest version of office. I guess they finally added customizability. Thanks for enlightening me.

Nothing is stopping you from using an older version for more basic tasks

those look more like minimum recommended specs than actual usage
