Will we be able to use Binder files in XP/Office2002

[MeGustaXL]

As proper prior planning and preparation prevents pissed-off people, I'm wondering if our carefully-built common file structure using MS Binders will be usable in Off2002 under XP Pro when we 'upgrade' later this year.

I've heard that MS withdrew Binder after O2K, because it "isn't widely used", but if that's true, it'll completely screw us!!

If anyone can shine a ray of hope for us, please do!

Hi Chris,

Yes It's gone. Microsoft includes a utility to "Unbind" binders in previous versions. Here's an article about it from PC Magazine:

Microsft Office Binder Support is included in Office XP and Office 2003 but is not installed by default. It can be found in Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Microsoft Office XP under the Tools Section in Advanced Setup.
