It's my cockup. banghead

I trialled the Microsoft Office 2007 Beta, and got the email that it was going to expire and therefore I converted all the files back to normal .xls files rather than .xlsx files.

Or so I thought!

I missed one, and now I need it. Is there a way to convert this, or do I have to re-enter all the data again...

All help gratefully rec'd.

I have Office 2007; if it's not confidential, you can send it to me and I'll email the converted file straight back.

That's a bugger. I get an error message telling me that the file was created in an beta version of Office 2007, and cannot be converted - I need to re-open the file in the Beta, and resave it...banghead which I can't do as the Beta has expired.

Back to square one & retyping the sheets.
