Default opening 2007 files in 2003

I'm using Excell 2003 and i'm receiving files from Excell 2007. Is there an
easy way to open them? Excell says that the file is in an unrecognizable
format and will not open it.

Download the Office 2007 compatibility pack. This lets you open 2007 files
in 2003 (Word, Excel, ppt)
