Microsoft Word 2000 has the same file format as Word 98 and Word 97, but it has a few enhancements because of the new features included in Word 2000. The Word 97-2000 format is different from the file format used in Word 95 and Word 6.0. For more information, see Sharing Documents with Word 98 and Word 97 Users or Sharing Documents with Word 95 and Word 6.0 Users.
You can share macros and templates with users of other versions of Word. However, the templates included with Word 2000 take advantage of the new and enhanced features in the application. The unique features in Word 2000 are lost when a template is saved in a previous format such as Word 97 or Word 95 format. For more information, see Sharing Macros and Templates with Previous Versions of Word.
You cannot prevent users from saving documents in an unapproved format, but you can:

To use cascading style sheets
Word 2000 includes most of the graphics filters that users need to open and save images. The following graphics filters are included in the Microsoft Office Converter Pack.
Toolbox You can install text converters and graphics filters from the Microsoft Office Converter Pack. For more information about installing these converters and filters, see Microsoft Office Converter Pack.
Before Word 95 users can open HTML and Word 97-2000 documents, they must install the HTML converter and Word 97-2000 converter included in the Microsoft Office Converter Pack.
Toolbox You can install the HTML and Word 97-2000 converters from the Microsoft Office Converter Pack. For more information about installing these converters, see Microsoft Office Converter Pack.
Word 2000 users might have changed a default option in the Options dialog box.

Word 2000 substitutes fonts that are not installed on a user’s computer.
To customize the substitution of fonts
Line breaks and page breaks in Word 2000 are treated differently from those in other versions of Word and other applications.
To customize the display for a converted document
Note The document is not permanently changed. The selected options only affect how Word displays the document while you are working with it in Word.
WordBasic macros created in Word 95 and Word 6.0 and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) version 5.0 macros created in Word 97 run in Word 2000. For more information, see Sharing Macros and Templates with Previous Versions of Word.
The macros might have been digitally signed from within the Visual Basic Editor in Word 2000. This new security feature is not included in other versions of Word. Users of other versions of Word can run — but not modify — the macros.
If the security level for Word 2000 is set to High, and users open a document or load an add-in that contains unsigned macros, then the macros are disabled and users cannot run them. Users can enable macros that are not digitally signed by changing the security level to Medium in the Security dialog box (Tools menu, Macro submenu), closing the document or unloading the add-in, and then opening the document or loading the add-in again.
Note Remember to change the security level back to High if you want Word 2000 to automatically disable unsigned macros in the future.
If the security level for Word is set to Medium or High and you chose to disable macros because you do not trust the source of the macros, you cannot run the macros. To run the macros, close the document or unload the add-in, and then open the document or load the add-in again. Then click Enable Macros.
If a file is not converted correctly, Word 2000 users can close the file without saving it, and then open it again using a different text converter. For a list of text converters, see Working with Word 2000 Text Converters and Graphics Filters.
