I get a message "The file format is not in a recognizable format" when I try to open either excel(2002). When I try to open Word(2002) I get a "file conversion-address" dialog box.

How do I fix this problem?

If they are local then you do have a problem but if they came from another place they may have been created on a different version of Office that uses a different File Format,.

If this is the case you need to install the Office 2007 to 2003 Converter from M$. For a full description of what is involved look here

There is also a Link to the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for 2007 Office Word, Excel and Power Point File Formats on that Page.

Then do a re-install and select "repair", do this on (if you have different disks) each disk. Hope this help you.

Please post back if you have more problems or questions.
