Saving an Excel 2007 spreadsheet in Works format
I'm using Office 2007 and want to send a spreadsheet to somebody who only has
MS Works. I can't see any .wks option in the 'Save as' list. I've tried saving it in the Excel 97-2003 format but it doesn't work. Any ideas? |

Excel Viewer 2003 would work if all you want the recipient to do is view it.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=EN To use the spreadsheet they can download and install the free open source program OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org/ "statistica" wrote in message ...

Saving an Excel 2007 spreadsheet in Works format
Thanks for the thought but the recipient does need to modify it. In the end
I saved the file in 97 - 2003 format and the user went into Works and opened the document as an xls file. This seems to work.

Saving an Excel 2007 spreadsheet in Works format
Excel and Works do not share any common file formats, as far as I know. I
tried running Works to see (it came bundled on this computer), but unfortunately it appears that the Office 2007 beta trashed some of Works' DLLs, and I have no way to reinstall Works on this machine. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "statistica" wrote in message ...

Saving an Excel 2007 spreadsheet in Works format
I guess it doesn't cause me any trouble. I'd installed the 2007 beta a year
and a half ago, and noticed today that (a) I had Works installed and (b) Works didn't work. Since I haven't needed Works since I bought this computer, I've uninstalled it for good. I did learn from your response to Bob that Works can interpret Excel files. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "statistica" wrote in message ...
