Microsoft Vista AND Office 2007 Compatibility
Grants.gov is currently incompatible with both the new Microsoft (MS) Vista Operating System and the new Microsoft (MS) Office 2007 versions of Word, Excel and Power Point. In order to create and submit your application to Grants.gov, you must find a computer with a previous version Microsoft Operating System, such as Windows XP. If you attach a file created using MS Office 2007, you will not get an error message when you submit the application, HOWEVER your entire application will not be able to be processed or accepted at Grants.gov and will not reach DOE. Grants.gov can accept applications with attachments created in MS Office 2007 if the attachments are saved in the prior format. See http://www.grants.gov/assets/Vista_and_office_07_Compatibility.pdf for detailed instructions on how to do this. A file created in MS Office 2007 can be identified by the “x” at the end of the file extension, for example “sample.docx” for a Word file.
Contact Grants.gov at 1-800-518-4726 with any questions.
