Tom posted a new comment:
There's probably some quirky new gizmo like a new type of paragraph mark
or something that is unnoticeable on a printed page but stops people
without 2007 from being able to open the documents that contain it?  I
doubt that people are really using advanced features of 2007 yet.

For example pdf documents are rarely much more than text-files but could
use their contents table and index to jump to the relevant point in the
document in the same way as links on a web-page.  *Shrugs*, seems a very
basic functionality but almost never gets used.  Instead with long
documents you usually have to kinda scroll through to roughly where you
think and then line it up.

Anyway, enough of my sour-grapes ;)
Good luck and have fun :)
Regards from
Tom :)
