Excel 2007 documents won't open directly in Excel 2003. There are a few options though. There may be converters that you can download from the Microsoft website to do it. In 2007, you can save the document as a 2003 file. Another thing to do is if you have a Gmail account, e-mail to that account and you can open it in Google Documents, and copy and paste it into Excel 2003. It is possible that you will lose some data that way, though that is not always the case.

Access 2003 will not be able to open it properly. What you can do is open it in Access 2007 and save it in the 2003 format. If you do not have Access 2007, you will need to get someone else to do it for you. It may still lose some of the data and elements that are in Access 2007 but not in Access 2003.
Can you convert an Excel 2003 spreadsheet to 2010 to add more rows?
If you have 2010, then you can open it and save it as a 2010 workbook. It won't open with Excel 2003 after that though so you cannot have the benefit of the extra rows in Excel 2003. That is one of the reasons for using 2007 or 2010.

Not ordinarily. You need to use a converter to do it. Another option is that if you have Excel 2007, you could save it in the older format. Google docs will open 2007 files, so that is another way of getting to the content of the spreadsheet. You could then cut and paste it into 2003.
