Are files created by MS Office Excel 2003 compatible (r/w) with MS
Home and Student Excel 2007?
Student/Regular MS Office 2003 - the products themselves are not different -
the licensing is.
If you create a document in Office 2007 (any Office 2007) and send that to
someone with Office 2003 and you did not *save* rthat document in the older
format - but the native Office 2007 format - the receiver may have a
problem - although they can get past many of those issues by installing
this:
Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007

Although there still may be problems - so it is best - if you know someone
will get ahold of your document with an older version of Office - to save it
in the older format (Save As, choose a different type.)
The other direction (2003-->2007) should go smoothly.
