Convert a Prior Version
File to Excel 2010
1. Open a workbook created in an earlier version of Excel; the
title bar indicates that Excel opened the document in
Compatibility Mode.
2. Click File and from Backstage View, choose Convert. Excel
displays a message indicating you’re about to convert the cur-
rent workbook (see Figure 1-11).
3. Click OK and then another conversion message appears.

Excel replaces the older version of the workbook, using the

If the older version was an Excel 97–2003 or earlier docu-
ment, Excel 2010 changes the extension to .xlsx.
Compatibility Mode disappears from the Excel title bar.
