Error message on opening Excel 2007
When I open Excel 2007, whether for a new spreadsheet or for an existing one,
I get an error message 'Invalid Format - anotherfilename.doc' If I click OK then Excel appears to function normally. The 'anotherfilename.doc' is always the same file. Does anyone have any ideas please? |

Look in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\XLSTART
(assuming you have Excel installed on C: drive) and see if the document is in there. Might also look in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\STARTUP Sounds like somehow a Word document has gotten placed into one of those folders and so when Excel opens, it's trying to open all files in that folder. Naturally Excel doesn't speak Word, so you get the error?
