Does any know of a similar forum for Microsoft Word? I'm having problems between 2007 and 2013 of Word.

I created a form in Word 2013 which contains some tables with checkboxes and textboxes. I saved this document as a .doc (2007). When I close this document and reopen it in Word 2013, it is fine. However, when I try to open it in 2007, the format changes. There is one table that got moved and another table with textboxes are not showing. Does anyone what is causing this?

..... I think Worf meant you should ask here
General Excel Discussion & Other Questions
.. where such questions are usually asked.
. But there is not much interest taken in WORD questions genareally at MrExcel.

We do have a few Word experts here who will answer questions, if they see them.

Do you get compatibility mode warnings when saving as doc?
Both versions you mentioned are XML based. Try saving as docx with 2013, open with 2007 and see what happens.

There are several. Google it take a look at some of them and maybe pick one that you like.

Simply re-opening the file in different Word versions on the same PC shouldn't result in a layout change. However, because Word uses the active printer driver to determine the layout, opening the document on PCs using different printers, or even the same printer with different drivers, can result in layout changes. This is quite common. Even that, however, should not result in content disappearing. If you care to attach the problem document to a post, I can investigate what might be causing that behaviour.

How do I attach document? I don't see an icon to attach.
