UMMMMM ..... DUH!

Yeah, it is NOT reasonable to expect to read an office 97 document on office 
4.0 or word 5.0 or whatever. That is NOT a bug. Enhanced file formats are not 
bugs, they are features, and if your software doesn't support a new feature, 
then you need to upgrade....

Geez....  Some people don't get it.
