How to Convert Excel 2007 to 2003
1. Open Excel 2007 if your computer has it. Click on the Windows icon at the top left-hand side of the screen and scroll to 'Open.' Click the command and browse your computer for the Excel 2007 file (it will have a file extension of '.xlsx'). Click on the file to select it, then click 'Open.'
2. Let the file open. Click on the Windows Icon and scroll to 'Save As.' Click on 'Excel 97-2003 Workbook.'
3. Name the file (the program will automatically name the file the same name as the 2007 version) in the space provided. Browse through your computer folders to find where you want to save it. Click 'Save.' The file can now be opened with earlier versions of Excel.
4. Download the Microsoft Compatibility Pack if you don't have Excel 2007 (www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466). Click 'Download' once the page opens.
5. Click on the 'Run' button when the download screen appears. Click to accept the EULA and click 'Continue' to start the install. Click 'OK' once the pack has been installed. You should now be able to open Excel 2007 docs with Excel 2003 and earlier.
