Saving to prior release?

I have solidworks 2004 at home and at the college I teach at. I also teach at a high school where we just got a copy of 2005 personal edition. SO heres my dilemma. I opened some filesfrom my college class [2004]to show some ofmy high schoolers [on 2005]and solidworks converted them to the later version so now I cant open them in 2004 for my college class. I've looked all over to try and find a way to save the files as an earlier release or export them to some other format that 2004 will understand but havent had any luck. Can someone make a recommendation on this?





Thanks
 
Sorry you cannot save as a previous version. The workaround is to save
as a IGES or STEP open these in the prior version and then use feature recognition
