Word 2007 & 2013

[dave8]

I created a word document in 2013 using some tables that look much like a form; added some checkboxes and textboxes. I saved it .doc format. However, when I open it up in 2007 the formatting is not the same and a lot of the textboxes are not showing up. Does anyone know why this is happening? I created this using a PC.

What sort of text boxes and check boxes did you add? e.g. Content Control checkboxes are not supported in Word 2007 and content controls generally are not supported in the DOC (Word 97-2003) format.

I was using the checkbox and textbox from the toolbox. I got them from the legacy forms. Is this what you mean? These are available in both 2007 and 2013.

Yes - that was what I meant. Can you attach the document? (Go Advanced).

I created this in Word 2013 and saved it as 2007 (.doc). However, when you open it in 2007, the page format is incorrect and some of the textboxes are missing. I attached the document for you to look at.
