Traci,

Send it to someone with Open Office to open and resave and send back to you.

I have been having a similar issue with my excel software. I seem to have a
corrupted file due to a graphic placement. Although I was able to remove the
graphic I can't seem to repair the file properly. Anytime I open the software
it automoatically crahes. Sometimes it will automatically restart my entire
computer.

I tried the openoffice software, but I can't install it on my system as I am
running Mac OS X version 10.4. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Thank You!

Hi ~

I have an Excel 2000 data file that is corrupt and I can't open it with
the
usual steps (e.g. excel viewer, web file save, linking, etc.) Now, when I
try demo versions of some advertised file recovery utilities, they seem to
work, but since it's only a demo download, I can't get more than a few
lines
of the spreadsheet. Retail costs vary for the utilities, around
$200-300+.

I find it incredible that MICROSOFT does not have a similar FREE utility
that can be used to recover data files, but that several 3rd party
companies
are more than ready to cash in on these situations.

Does anyone have a shareware / free utility that can be used to fix an
Excel
file 100%? I have not seen anything offered from Microsoft, but if anyone
knows of such a utility, please let me know. I'm unable to afford the
retail
price for this kind of assistance, but sure could use some help.

Thanks -
