There is a way. When you save the Excel file on Office 2007, If you want Office 2003 to read it you have to save it as a .xls file. To do this you go to File>Save As and Select Excel 97-2003 Workbook. Hope this helped.

You save it as a file format that the older versions can read, or if you use an older version you can download a compatibility pack here.
