I'm having formatting issues opening older .DOC files from 200 and 2003 in 
Word 2007.  Indents change, Page numbers change, 2nd page headers go on the 
cover page... Any ideas?

Not sure if this will help, but in Word 2007, you could try "Office button" 
=> "Word Options" => "Advanced" => "Lay out this document as if created in" 
(at the bottom).

FWIW, though, the Compatibility Options are saved with the document and 
should already be set for the correct version.

I tried setting Compatibility and the Style Set to 2003 and 2000. Neither 
helped. I'm awaiting a reply from MSS.
Thanks

Note that a change in printer driver can cause some of what you're seeing 
(see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm).
