OK, so you have two systems. Are they running the same Windows & Office versions?
As for file format conversions, there are plenty of macros around for that - so it doesn't have to be done manually - but presumably you'd need to convert the files from earlier years too, not just the 2017 files? And what about the files' date/time stamps?
