Default Saving a newer version of Excel using an older version (Excel 97)

Hi, Alain.

Visit Microsoft. Start here...

and you can download there pack to allow you to open and work with older
versions of Word, Excel etc.

Best wishes,

Ed

Hi,

I've got a file which I created at work (using Excel 2007, I think). It
doesn't use any fancy features, just the basics.

I've brought it home to my work laptop which has Excel 97 on it, and now
every time I save it I get an annoying message:

"This file was created using a later version of Microsoft Excel. If you
save this file using Microsoft Excel 97, information created with features
in the later version may be lost."

I've tried resaving it, without ever getting rid of this silly message. Is
there any way to stop the message appearing every time I press save?
Upgrading to the newer version of Excel is not an option.

Thanks,
Alain
