Saving Word With Other File Formats

Other File Formats

 

You can share your documents with anyone using Word 2010 or 2007, since they use the same file format. However, earlier versions of Word use a different file format, so if you want to share your document with someone using an earlier version of Word, you'll need to save it as a Word 97-2003 Document.

To Save As Word 97 - 2003 Document:

 

1. Click the File tab.
