Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

The easiest way is to get someone with office 07 to open the files and re-save them. When saving they can select to save them as 2003 version files which are.doc as opposed to .docx

If you need em done fast and there is nothing confidential in the files slap em up here or mail me them and i can re-save them for you.
Just drop me a PM with your mail address if u like.

Yeah the plugin works fine, I used it before we got Office 2007 and Open Office can open them too.

There is an ODF one for Ms Office too to support Open Office document format.
