Default File conversion

If you have Excel 2007 (that's what made the .xlsx file) then just open it
and choose SAVE AS and pick the 2003 file type (.xls). If you don't have
2007:

-either call up whoever sent you the file and ask them to re-save it.

or

-download the Excel 2007 file viewer and install it (probably harder than
getting the creator to re-save it)

Another option if you have Excel 2003 but not 2007 is to install the
Compatibly Pack:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

With this installed you'll be able to open 2007 files in 2003 and then you
can save as 2003.
