I use MS Office OutLook for email and have never used Lotus Notes.

MS Office OutLook attachments sent with RTF as format appear as gibberish when
opened in OutLook Express.

The work-around is to make sure you send in "Plain Text" format.

Don't know if there is a similar format with Lotus Notes, but.......??

has been sent via e-mail, there is nothing in the spreadsheet. All that
shows is a "%" in cell 1, row 2. The tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet
simply shows a "~ 12345". I've not had this problem in the past. I have
checked the macro level; it is set at medium, so I don't know what else it
might be. I've asked the senders to resend the attachment, but the same
thing happens.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks much.
