Microsoft has a free add-on that allows older versions to read the new XML version files (at least on the Mac).

The best option would be to save in a format that is compatible with older versions of Excel, as well as other office suites such as Open Office. Not everyone lives exclusively in the MS world, don't forget that there are plenty of linux users out there too 🙂
 
If someone can do that, it'll be great...I'm using the 2007 version. Anyone?

Hi Blues

You can do this yourself, just open that file and select save, and then for file type go to the drop down box and just choose the .xls option. If you go into the settings or preferences for Excel, you can have it save all your excel files as .xls by default too, so you won't have to change them again in the future.

Okay, here are 2 other formats...let me know which works best.

The first one you created is the 97/2000/XP .xls version, which is the version that will be most compatible for the various office suites out there.

The second one is the Excel 5.0 .xls version, which is a much older version that predates Windows95 and is very rarely used now.
No offense to Office 95 users, if there are any left out there 🙂
