Saving in 2007 as a 2003 file
When working in Excel 2007, I am able to save it as a 2003 file once
or twice. Afterwards, I am unable to save the file. I must SaveAs a differently named file (and then go back, delete the old version, etc...). It's necessary for me to save in 2003 as that's what most of our office has. Has anyone seen something like this or can someone suggest a possible fix? Thanks |

It's really a good idea to be specific when posting a problem. So you press Ctrl-s and what exactly happens? If you open another Excel 2003 created file in 2007 and start pressing Ctrl-s how many saves do you get until the problem occurs? I quit at about 10 as it seems to be working. -- Jim "jeffbg123" wrote in message ups.com... | When working in Excel 2007, I am able to save it as a 2003 file once | or twice.

Saving in 2007 as a 2003 file
Jeff, I haven't run into your specific problem, but I also work in an office
where most others use Office 2003 while I'm on 2007. I've converted my save option to always save in 2003 format and have not run into the problem you are having. To make 2003 your default save format your can: -Click the Office button (top left icon) -"Excel Options" at the bottom of the window -"Save" on the left -change the "Save files in this format:" to Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls). -OK From then on you will automatically save to Excel 2003 for all future files which will be noted by "compatibility mode" at the top of new Excel workbooks.

Saving in 2007 as a 2003 file
This problem is still happening. Here are some more details.
I set it up to autosave as Excel 97-2003 and nothing changed. This issue only occurs when saving to the local network. When I open a new spreadsheet, I get 4-5 saves before the "Document Not Saved" error pops up. I can exit and then reopen excel and the same thing happens I can still access the network once the error occurs I am not saving anything intricate and the error even occurs with blank XLS files Windows XP Pro Box In recap: I open Excel 2007, ctrl + s and save as test.xls on a network drive as a 97-03 xls file. I hit ctrl + s again and again, and on the 4th or 5th time (changes occasionally) I get a "Document Not Saved" error and I cannot save the file again. I can save as another file, but not as the same file. Any ideas? Thanks -Jeff |

Saving in 2007 as a 2003 file
New update.....
This seems to only occur when saving to a public drive on a MacOS server. Could there be some setting on the mac that is preventing this from happening? Thanks |

Saving in 2007 as a 2003 file
I have a slightly different problem - any ideas appreciated - Excel
starts default with 2003 format (I don't think it did when I first installed it) - when I change to 2007 format it only works while Excel is open, the next time I open it is back to 2003 format - other options that I change remain as I set them. And I am running from my computer..
