No conversion should ne necessary. Outlook 2003 and 2007 both use the same
Unicode .PST file format, so the data files are interchangeable. With
Outlook 2007 closed, make a copy of your current .PST file. Take this copy
to the Outlook 2003 machine, place it in a folder where it will NOT
overwrite any existing .PST files, make sure its not set READ ONLY, then
open it with Outlook 2003 using 'File|Open|Outlook Data File'.
