Installing the Office 2007 Converter (PC) (Click to view printable pdf)

Office 2007 saves files with a new 4 character extension instead previously used 3 character (i.e. filename.doc will now be filename.docx, xls will become xlsx, etc.) To minimize potential problems we are asking Office 2003 users to install the Office 2007 file converter.

From your desktop, double click on My Computer.

From the My Computer window, double click on Public on 'Diamond SMC Samba Server... (P:)

.

From the public on 'Diamond SMC Samba Server (diamond)' (P:), double click on the Software Distribution folder.

From the Software Distribution window, double click on the Office 2007 File Converter folder.

In the Office 2007 File Converter window, double click on FileFormatConverters.exe icon.

In the Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system, Click (the box) to accept the Microsoft License terms. Click Continue. Several windows will appear while the converter installs.
