Hi all
Is it possible for an excel work book created by microsoft office xp
professional version 2002 to be compatable with office 2007?

Thanks for looking

Excel 2007 can open workbooks made in earlier versions
The title bar with display file name followed by "Compatibility Mode"

Excel 2003 (and earlier?) can open Excel 2007 files if the users has
installed the utility supplied by Microsoft.

Of course, new features (example: the COUNTIFS function) cannot be
transferred

Excel 2007 can save files in the same format as uded by Excel 1997 thru 2003

best wishes

Yes, to the best of my knowledge although EXCEL 2007 might ask (force?) you
to change it to its way of doing things.
