Opening 2007 Excel files in 2003

[Jedi]

I have installed the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint 2007 File Formats (FileFormatConverters.exe). Yet when I attempt
to open a 2007 in 2003 it does not open.

I get an error stating the ‘file is in an unrecognisable format, but no
other message".

Any ideas what to do when the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack does not
work>

Many thanks. Chris

Hi,

one thing you can do is to save the Excel 2007 file with the extension .html
and open this new html file with Excel 2003.
