Our department has started using XL 2010, and we must respond to a
client's proposal using XL 2007. Based on this article by Microsoft,
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc179167.aspx, we can
create a file in 2010, avoid the new statistical functions,
sparklines, slicers, conditional formatting, etc., and the client will
be able to read our file using XL 2007. Do I understand this
correctly?

Thanks,
Dave O

Find a machine with xl2007 and test your file.
Also, in xl2010 offline help, see... "use office excel 2010 with earlier versions of excel"

Pivot tables, if I remember rightly, can cause problems going back-level, or perhaps that was 2007 - 97/2003
