Default How can I move spreadsheets to contain same format and spacing

The best I can offeris to open the works spreadsheet and do a "save as"
(therefore not changing your original spreadsheet). In the "Save as type"
box select Mircrosoft Excel Workbook (*.xls) Enter your new filer name and
click save. I have done this before and it seems to save things in excel as
they where in works. (or at least really close) Then if this was not what
you could use throw it away and post back. Tell us what you have tried and
what happened when you tried it.

Does this help you?

Mike. Sorry for the slow response. I did as you instructed. Some of the
spacing was a little off (Some of my numbers turned into "#####" because the
cell was too small) but other than that, it worked perfectly!

Thank you so much!!!
