title: How to use Crystal XI to save in the Crystal 8.5 format?
body: <p>I've never had to deal with different Crystal versions before, so I'm hoping someone here would know.</p>
  <p>Yesterday, I was contacted by another department.  They had a legacy application using a CR v8.5 template which needed to be edited.  I opened the .rpt file in my Crystal XI Designer, made the changes in about 5 seconds (suppressing a few fields and subsections), and emailed it right back. Of course, the legacy app immediately choked on this new template.</p>
  <p>Hence my question, how do I use my CR XI Designer to save this template in the 8.5 format?</p>
  <p>I found a possible solution on the internet using some shareware program called Crystal Translator.  But I hesitate to download yet another freeware app to my work computer without some assurance it'll fix the problem. <em>(Edit: No such luck)</em></p>
  <p><em>(Edit #2: Stay far <strong>far</strong> away from this app. I uninstalled it and it seems to have taken half of Crystal Reports with it.  This is exactly why I don't try out freeware.)</em></p>
  <h3>Edit</h3>
  <p>According to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/713844/downgrade-a-crystal-report-to-an-older-version">Downgrade a crystal report to an older version?</a>, this simply can't be done.</p>
