If you use formatting choices that the older version doesn't recognize, usually Prism will do something sensible (like changing a pie chart into a bar chart, changing semi-transparent colors into solid colors). If the file contains analyses that the older version can't perform, they will be frozen. If your file has tables with more columns or subcolumns than the older version can handle, those tables will be empty when you open the file.
