Opening Office 2007 documents in older versions of Office

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Due to a special licensing deal with Microsoft we’re in the fortunate position that we run the latest versions of pretty much all Microsoft software in the office here at Atlas, and that includes Microsoft Office 2007.

Unfortunately our clients are not quite so lucky, and when we send our software development proposals, contracts, implementation plans etc out to them in the shiny new .docx, .xlsx etc formats they generally end up e-mailing us back saying that they can’t open them.

So this post is for our clients and anybody else who uses an older version of Microsoft Office…below you’ll find a link to the “Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats” which basically lets you open the new file formats in older versions of office, enjoy!

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Simon Swords, director of Atlas Computer Systems, was awarded the title of Young Entrepreneur of the Year at an awards ceremony in Southend, Essex.

The team at Atlas is incredibly happy to have Simon’s efforts recognised in such a way and we hope that this is just the start of the recognition that Atlas Computer Systems are making a name in shaping the future of technology.

You can check out the award being presented here…apologies for the shaky camera, the camera man was trying to clap and video at the same time…not a good combination!

 

Thanks to the judges and we look forward to seeing you all at the awards in 2008!

Finally, we have a photo to prove that there was actually a giveaway and the winners do exist.

Congratulations to Pat and Liz, the proud owners of a new Dell machine!  The photo isn’t great quality but there you are…

 

P.S. The Essex Business Awards are this time next week.  Fingers crossed!!
