If I continue with the recovery, data and formulas are recovered, but
formatting and macros are lost.

The file is a modest size, 1.6 MB, lots of formulas, no external
links.

This occurs on XP and Vista, onExcel2003 and 2007.

With 2007, when the SaveAs is to Macro enabled XML format, the
"unreadable content" message occurs, but the recovery seems to be
complete.

Hi Carl Hartness,
