    Have Office 2003 and 2007, can't open .mdi files

    Having an important document that my client sent by mistakenly into .mdi format. Now am having problem opening it. I am having two PCs at my place running with XP and Vista respectively. I have Office XP Pro with Frontpage on Xp and Office Pro 2007 running on Windows Vista. Tried opening this MDI files on both of these systems but seems like none of them is able to work. Even Microsoft Office Document Imaging is unable to recognize the mdi format.

    Let me explain the problem in details. Whe I try opening it on XP, it says unable to recognize the file. When I try opening the file on my Vista with Office 2007 it tells me to insert distribution disk. When I insert the same, later I got message unable to find drivers. After few minutes it told me that I must have Office 2 007 with Frontpage (Which is actually on XP with office Xp pro and frontpage). I don’t know what else I can do to open it. Can anyone help ?

    First of all I would suggest you to read the last message again on Vista. I don’t think there is any Office 2007 with FrontPage. It might be asking for something else. Secondly, you should know that office wont install Document Imaging by default during installation though it use to be in the CD. Hence what you need to do is open Control Panel, go to Add Programs, select Office version you having, locate for Office Document Imaging and you installation CD and Run all from my computer.
