I was trying the Beta Office 2007 and made the mistake of saving one of
you Excel file in the new 2007 form. I really need it back in the 2003 form. Problem: due to a variety of issues, I de-installed the Beta version and went back to 2003 but for got about the one file.. So; are there any utilities that anyone knows of the will convert this file back two 2003 form?? It is a simple Excel file, meaning that there are no clever or fancy formula or macros, just a collection of parts and part numbers gathered over MUCH time surfing various web sites. Any help or advise (beside the obvious... always make a backup... dah...) Thanks in advance... |

Well, there's Excel 2007. :-) The Excel 2007 help also mentioned some utility that lets Excel 2003 read Excel 2007 files.

That 'Compatibility Pack' can be downloaded from this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en It does work ... However, if the Beta version was an early beta, it probably will not. The file formats changed several times during the Beta stages, and basically at this point in time, files in early Beta versions may be kind of lost forever. I've had 3 or 4 people send me such files, and my success rate in converting them has been maybe 75% (I can definitely remember on failure out of the 3 or 4).
