If you want to share an Office file with someone using an earlier Office version, here’s how.
-
Click File > Save As.
-
Choose where you want to save your file.
Tip: To go directly to the Save As dialog box, double-click a location (for example, double-click Computer).
-
In the Save As dialog box, under Save as type, select the file format you want. For example, you can save your presentation (.pptx) as a PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation (.ppt) so someone using an earlier version of PowerPoint can open it.
-
If you want to rename the file, type a new name in the File name box.
-
Click Save.
