File format invalid
I have an excell file, .xls, that doesn't seem to be opened in excel2000 or
excell2007. I have even tried to open it in word, thinking that someone might have made that mistake, but with no success. I'm getting hte error message stating "File format is not valid". Does anyone have any suggestions? |

File format invalid
You may want to try OpenOffice.org and try opening, then saving (as a new

It's been known to save some (not always all) data, formatting, formulas and code. http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD If the file is really important, there are commercial recovery services. I've never used it, but you might want to check into: http://www.officerecovery.com ranvin56 wrote: I have an excell file, .xls, that doesn't seem to be opened in excel2000 or excell2007.
