Excel docs opening encoded
I'm trying to open a doc that I just saved to Excel and it's opening encoded
as everything else I save in Excel. I answered "yes" when the prompt to save normal template came on. Could this be the answer? And if so, how do I change the files back to regular documents? Thanks for your help. |

Excel has no "normal template" but Word has.
Sound like you opened the Excel files using Word and saved as Word documents. If so, your Excel files are gone.

Word 2007 will not even open an Excel 2007 file.
