In order to encrypt a document in Office 2007 so that it can be read using Office 2003 the document mus first be protected using the Prepare -> Encrypt Document procedure described above. However, the document must then be saved using the Save As -> Word 97-2003 Document option.
Hmmm...missed that part.

Since the OP wants to work the document on both systems it is a moot point anyways.
