Our organisation is soon due to receive Windows XP,
currently working with Windows NT. There seems to be an
opinion that any office document be it .xls, .doc etc
created in XP cannot be viewed in Windows NT. This may be
a problem if correct as a lot of our customers will still
be functioning with NT. Can anyone advise me if what I
have heard is correct?

The operating system has nothing to do with files created in Office. You are
upgrading the operating system, are you upgrading the Office package also?
