    Will I be able to open .docx files with MS Office 08 in Mac?

    I am currently using Microsoft Office 2007 on my Mac but I want to go for the latest Microsoft Office 2008 for my Mac as it is advance and will have some extra features which are not there in Microsoft Office 2007. Here I am concern about that will I be able open the .docx, .xlsx or pptx files of Microsoft Office 2007 into my Mac while I am using Microsoft Office 2008 on it. I haven’t heard anything about it and I don’t have any idea if it is possible of not, so if anyone currently using it or have information on it please let me know.

    You can defiantly open the files of Microsoft Office 2007 such as word, excel, and access etc. while you are using Microsoft Office 2008 on your Mac. I think there should not be any issue of MS office 07 file not opening in MS office 08 as it is the latest version so you should be able to open it without any issue. But if it was in other way that is if you are trying to open MS office 08 file while you are using MS office 07 then it might have created problem while opening.

    If you are buying it for opening the file then i suggest you to go for some other application which might help you to perform similar task. I think OpenOffice and NeoOffice application will help you to open all the Microsoft Office 2007 file in Mac. So i think you have to try this before going for the Microsoft Office 2008 which might cost you much if you are going for the authorized copy of Microsoft Office 2008.

    Similar kind of doubt in my mind as me too want to go for Microsoft office 2008 but as it is very much expensive compare to the other application which i may choose. But the thing is that Microsoft office is quite famous and it is used by majority of the people because it is quite easy to work with it. So if am able to open the documents of Microsoft office 2007 in Microsoft office 2008 it will be great otherwise i have to look for other application for my Mac. Any suggestion regarding such application which may help will be appreciable.
