Microsoft Office 2003 update removes old file support
The latest update for Office 2003 removes support for some older file types. Microsoft says it’s for security reasons. AppScout reports:
So much for rolling out new features. Microsoft isn’t exactly going around advertising it, but if you’ve downloaded Service Pack 3 for your copy of Office 2003, you might have noticed that the latest release actually features decreased compatibility with old file types.
With SP3, Office 2003 has dropped support for documents created in old versions of Word, Excel, 1-2-3, Quattro, and Corel Draw, because, according to Microsoft’s Support Center, “[b]y default, these file formats are blocked because they are less secure. They may pose a risk to you.”
