Excel 97-2003 files won't open in 2007?
Hi
What error do you get? I have saved and opened lots of files from XL2007 in 97-2003 format without any problem - so far. -- Regards Roger Govier "Dwyndl" wrote in message ... I saved an excel file as 97-2003 but now it won't open with excel 2007. How do I get it to open? |

Excel 97-2003 files won't open in 2007?
One problem I've had with opening XL 03 files in XL 07 is if I already have a
spreadsheet open in XL 07, and am in the middle of editing a formula, and then try to open another workbook, XL 07 seems to hang up on me. Don't know if that's the problem here, though.

Excel 97-2003 files won't open in 2007?
It tells me that the .xls file that I am trying to open is not formatted
properly. What I did was open a file from my flash drive, which I have been using for months. This file was working fine and I saved the info back to my flash drive as a 97-2003 file so I could still use it with other computers. When I went in a few minutes later to make another change it wouldn't open properly. If I tell it to ignore I get a page with a lot of "y"s. Today I tried to open the file here at work with excel 2003 and it is doing the same thing. I fear that I have lost my info and it is very important. "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi What error do you get?
