Why can't I save Excel 7 documents to Excel 3?

[Littleold]

Since purchasing a new computer some months ago, some Excel downloads appear
in Excel version 7 which I have not installed on my computer. My preferred
version of Excel is version 3 which I HAVE installed on my computer. Why am
I not able to save the documents which download into version 7 to version 3
where I can edit and send on by e-mail if I need to do?

There is Excel 2007 and Excel 2003, perhaps those are the versions you
are referring to? And if that is the case then you will need this package.

If you don't have Excel 2007 and you want to read Excel 2007 files, you need
the compatibility pack:
