I have been having a similar issue with my excel software. I seem to have a

graphic I can't seem torepairthefileproperly. 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 datafilethat iscorruptand I can't open it with

the
usual steps (e.g. excel viewer, webfilesave, linking, etc.) Now, when I
try demo versions of some advertisedfilerecovery 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
file100%? 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.
