The solution is to download the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack....
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en
It's a 27.5MB download - but well worth it.

This'll give Office XP and Office 2003 users the ability to read the 
new 2007 file formats for Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
Anyone still using older versions of MS Office (like most of us) should 
install this pack.

Cheers!
