Help with xlsx files

[Jorge Cervantes]

I am still using 97Office Excel. My customer sent me excel files in xlsx
format this morning.
I could not open those xlsx files.
I now downloaded the converter for xlsx to xls format.

My question is whether the converter (FileFormatConverters.exe) could work
on 97Office Suite.
TIA. Jorge

Well from the System requirements on the download page it would seem not.
Give it a try.

If it doesn't, you need to get your customer to do a Save As before sending
to you....
However, I would be surprised if anything other than a fairly basic
spreadsheet from 2007 would open properly in 97.....
