What I mean about word is the older ones open up on the new word but the new word doesn't open up n the old one this is a problem since I always send her my papers to proofread and to print them out, she does the same with me and I am looking for a new laptop around January before the next semester starts. I just want the all to be compatible together.

Word 2003 does not open docx formatted files. You need Word 07 at a minimum.
However I know there is a free compatibility pack for some of the office 2007 programs. Do a search and see... I don't remember if there is one for word.
At the very least you can just save your papers in the old .doc format and she will be able to open them.
In short, its not the computers, is is ms office.
