Saving reports in previous formats

Well, the question is not really VB-related, but probebly someone will give a hint on how to save Crystal Reports 9 report, so that I can open it in Crystal Reports 8 ? Seems that the native "save as" can only save in v.9. :(From the Crystal Reports support site:

Since Crystal Reports 9 and later uses unicode, if you create or save a report in Crystal Reports 9 or later, then you cannot open this report in previous versions of Crystal Reports.

If you save a report in Crystal Reports 9 and later, there is no method of re-saving this report in a previous version of Crystal Reports. That is, it is not possible to save a version 9 or later report as a version 8.5 report. Therefore, it is advisable to have back up copies of your existing reports before saving them in Crystal Reports 9 or later format.

You are able to open a report created with Crystal Reports XI in some previous versions of Crystal Reports. For example:
Crystal Reports 10 and 9 can open a report created with Crystal Reports XI. However, new functionality from Crystal Reports XI may not be available in Crystal Reports 10 and 9.

Crystal Reports 8.5 and lower versions cannot open a report created with Crystal Reports XI. Attempting to do so results in the following error message:

"Failed to open document"
