No surprise there. The change of file format with each new version 
release has been a problem since release 2.0 of the first program 
ever written. In order to not obsolete the installed base with each 
version release some vague attempt at backward compatibility is 
usually maintained. If an owner of v7 can load the file and export 
in v5 format, you might by luck actually be able to pull it into 
your v5. If so, it will possibly load by v6 too. If the v7 version 
file didn't use the bells and whistles that didn't exist in v5, it 
has a chance.

It's worth a try.
