Excel 'read only, compatability mode'
I just started an online course for an accounting class. Last week I was able
to download the homework, edit it (complete the work), and upload it back to my instructor. Today I downloaded the homework and I am unable to edit now. It says 'read only, compatibility mode' I have windows vista and would like to be able to work on excel and powerpoint. I got the free trial of Microsoft Office 2007 when I bought this PC. I'm looking for a download of Office 97-2003 but all I can find are updates. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

Excel 'read only, compatability mode'
It sounds like your free trial may have timed out on you. First, for the
Genuine Microsoft Office use you might look at purchasing the Home and Student version of Office. It has the basic applications, is priced fairly reasonably and has good licensing scheme. If the budget doesn't permit the purchase, then look at Open Office. It is a free alternative to MS Office and the files are compatible back-and-forth. The big catch can be in the area of Macros -- those are not compatible across Office/Open Office. "silverkitty" wrote: I just started an online course for an accounting class.
