2003 Excel version needs opened up in 2007

[jolculbe]

My computer has both the 2003 and 2007 versions of Excel loaded onto it.

How do I set my default Excel program to the 2007 version so regardless of the Excel document, it will ALWAYS open up in the 2007 version?

Thanks for any help!

If you are using windows XP
Go to the control panel
Open “Folder Options” and click on the tab called “File Types”
Scroll down to find “xls” and click on the change button and select Excel 2007
(not tested; as I don’t have both versions on my comp)

Although there is nothing wrong with opening an xls file in 2007 compatibility mode
