Hi. I am switching from Office 2007 to 2003. If I export all folders in
..pst format, will I be able to import that into 2003 seamlessly? lol. I have
never had issues when "upgrading" doing it this way, but "downgrading" is a
new issue to me.

Thanks in advance for your help!

No need to export and import anything. Just use the pst-file directly via;
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

It is recommended to recreate you mail profile though after the downgrade.

Thanks. So I will still need to save the 2007 stuff thru
file->import/export.... and save all personal personal folders into a .pst
file, right? Then to import all the folders and their contents I use the
File->Open->Outlook data file, and find where I saved the 2007 stuff and open
that, right?

Thanks!

Wrong. The data already is in PSTs. Just use those PSTs. Do NOT export or
import.

OK. Thanks! It makes sense now. I've always just used import/export.
Learning new ways. Thanks again!!
