You probably opende an wxisting file from an older version. Then it is in
compatibility mode.
Save the file as Either Excel Workbook or macro enabled workbook, close and
re-open.

For some reason I only have columns to IV in the Excel 2007. This is the
reason I switched to this program since I need more columns. Is there a
setting I need to adjust to get past this?
