    Open xlsx with earlier version of Excel (especially 97)

    since 97 and microsoft wont let you open xlsx(excel 2007 format)
    you are stuffed if some inconsiderate 2007 user sends you a file in this format.
    well not quite
    use http://www.zamzar.com/ and it'll convert it to xls for free.
