You can't downgrade the license but you can set your Office 2007
applications so they are compatible with the previous file format. Use
the Microsoft Office Button, click <ApplicationName> Options and in
the Save category set your default Save format to the 97-2003 file
format.

Also, the application should automatically display a Compatibility
alert if you do include something that isn't compatible when you save
the file but you can also check compatibility at any time by using the
MOB/Prepare/Compatibility Checker.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
