Hi and welcome to WTT

Try downloading and installing the 'compatibility pack' from Microsoft, it will allow you to open new 2007 word docs with your older version of word.

This is a fairly common problem, but before you start editing the registry be sure to back it up first….
Erunt is good for this……if you don't already use it then have a look here;
