How about trying to save the file at home as either:
Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 Workbook (*.xls)
or
Microsoft Excel 97-Excel 2002 & 5.0/95 workbook (*.xls)

(from xl2003--but xl2002 should have wording that's close.)

The second option actually creates a file with both versions in it--so it'll be
double the size. The first option is just the older version.

Be aware that there are new things added to excel with each version (duh!), so
you may find that you created a macro that has parts that aren't supported in
the old version.

You'll want to test the heck out of it when you open it at work.

As a general rule, it's usually much better to create the macro in the oldest
version that you need to support.
