Can Excel 97 read Excel 2003 simple spreadsheet?
I am writing a ReadMe file and want to list minimum requirements for viewing
an Excel 2003 spreadsheet. The only formulas are Count functions used to tally columns. Other than that it is a basic flat list spreadsheet. For viewing this .xls file may I be safe to say that a minimum of Excel 97 is needed? Thanks. |

Using your criteria, I would say Yes.

xl97 should be able to open xl2003 files. (xl95 won't be able to.)
But you still may want to try opening the file in xl97. There may be things that you did in xl2003 that don't work in xl97.

WinXL97/00/02/03 and MacXL98/01/v.X/04 all use the same file format, so
any of those versions will be able to open and view your file. In article , MSfStl wrote: I am writing a ReadMe file and want to list minimum requirements for viewing an Excel 2003 spreadsheet.
