A well known bug. No consistent solution other than opening files from the
Excel menus rather than double-clicking.

Can you help. I just installed Microsoft Office 2007 and when I open
Microsoft Excel Worksheet which was created in Microsoft Excel 2000 the
Microsoft Excel 2007 just hangs and only opens when I click on the Office
Button. Even when I try to open Microsoft Excell from Start/Programs it
hangs
with no worksheet opening. When I open Microsoft Word 2007 this doesn't
happen it opens at the document that I have created (which was previously
created in Microsoft Word 2000) and when you open Microsoft Word 2007 it
opens a blank document. So why is Excel 2007 doing this and is there
anything
I can do to fix it?
