Posted February 26, 201014 yr Hi. I have Vista with Microsoft 2003. I am trying to download the Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, Powerpoint File Formats. When I hit the 'Download' tab, I get the message the my "current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded". I have tried lowering the security (Internet Options) - but it still does not allow it. Any ideas?
