As per the original post. 

 

Hey!

 

I tried this to open a Prime 9 document in Prime 7 and didn't work. Do you have a solution for these two too?

Unfortunately no.

As I already wrote I guess that LucMeekes  could help here but I am not sure if he is willing to share the method he found to convert sheets between different Prime versions.

Another option would be to find someone with Prime 9 and Prime 7 installed (not me) who would be willing to copy and paste the regions of your Prime 9 sheet to a new Prime 7 sheet and send you the P7 file.

As far as I know its not possible to copy more than one region at a time (thanks, PTC!). So you would have to copy them one after the other which can be quite time consuming for larger worksheets, not to mention the need to recreate the formatting/position of the regions as well.

Here in the forum it sometimes was said that its possible to put more regions in an area and that you can copy the whole (collapsed) area in one go, but when I once tried it, I had no success doing so.
