It's not a question of what operating system you have. It's a question of what
version of excel you and the other person use.

Do you mean that you use xl2007 and the other person uses xl2002?

Or what??

You can save an Excel file in the "old" format which other with XL 97 to
2003 can open
OR
They can install a compatibility untility from Microsoft which will open XL
2007 files. See
