Ah, well, that's why I had to uninstall it. I installed the pre-release
version, then had to do a system restore for an unrelated reason, tried to
re-install the pre-release version, got a message saying my trial had ended,
and then tried just to buy the damn thing. But you can't buy office 2007
till Jan 31. 2007.

Hence, the converter tool...

Never tried it Dave, but 2007 is available for download now, pre-release.
You could download that and save them as 2003 files.

Has anyone had any luck with this conversion tool that MSFT offers?

Long story short: I created a number of XL 2007 files, had to uninstall
Office 2007 from my machine and revert back to Office 2003.

So I want to open the XL 07 files and convert them to XL 03 format. The
conversion tool though isn't working. I get a message saying XL 03
doesn't
recognize the file format.

Wondering if anyone out there has had a similar problem.

Thanks,

Dave
