I'm surprised the 'save as' doesn't allow you to do that conversion. You can
give this a shot. In the excell file list that you get when you close an
excell file the bottom right button shows menu, and there are Options.
Within the options, you can select the default Template for new workbook as
Blank 97-2003 Workbook. Open up you xlsx file and select Menu>Edit>select
all, then Menu> copy. Then close you file (you get the file list) and
select new (left soft key). This should open a blank xls now. Do a menu
(right soft key) and paste. Hopefully this will transfer all you stuff into
a new 97-2003 file. Shouldn't have done any harm to the originals either.
