Corrupt Spreadsheet
 
Hi,

I have a spreadsheet that appears corrupt - every time I open it Excel
crashes. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do with a suspect corrup
spreadsheet file?

Many thanks in advance for any assistance

Marek,

Try opening it with a different version of Excel. If that's successful,
save it, then returning that to your Excel might work. Try opening it with
"Open and repair" in the File - open dialog (expand the open button)
(depends on your version of Excel). Try opening it in Open Office
(www.openoffice.org). It can save as xls. Try opening it with the free
Excel viewer (www.microsoft.com). That'll at least allow you to salvage
some of the contents if it works.
