Microsoft Office 2007 Compatibility Pack

The standard at Wagner College is Microsoft 2007. If you are still using Office 2003 and receive a Word document, an Excel spreadsheet, or a PowerPoint presentation that was created using Office 2007, you will need to have downloaded a compatibility pack from Microsoft to open it.

Mac users also have a compatibility pack that they need to download.
