Opening Excel Files
 

Once upon a time, like everybody else, when I clicked on an Excel file
(say) on the Desktop, it would open for me. Now, I have to open the
Excel program first, then click file-open.

Any ideas?

Try this:

<Tools <Options <General tab,
and *Uncheck*
"Ignore Other Applications".

When opening some Excel sheets, a box says that this workbook contains
links to another worksheet. Fine, but I can NOT find those links, as I
will fix them so this box no longer appears.

Can anyone help me find the links?

When I can't find links, I'll use Bill Manville's FindLink program:

And depending on what version of excel you're running, you may be able to use:

Edit|Links
select the link you don't want
and click the Break link button
