Windows XL, Mac XL, and the Ribbon?
Jim,
I checked, was not enabled, so I enabled it, but this doesn't seem to be the issue. After that, my Mac colleague and I did some digging in the files When I send Mac a working file, and we look into the file as a .zip file, he sees the same folders & files I do. When Mac opens the file in Excel and then saves, and looks into the newly saved file as a .zip, the customUI folder is missing! He manually copied the customUI folder back into the zip version of the file, sent me the file, and there are a bunch of 0kb files, all named the same as the folders, as well as a MACOSX folder & 0kb file that he can't see on his Mac. Any ideas? It appears that when the Excel For Mac saves the file, it strips out my customUI, and potentially adds a few system files. when I tried opening an earlier copy (that he had saved & sent me) as a zip, I get an error that the zip file is corrupt or invalid. We're going to dig a little more, but if anyone has an idea on where to dig, it'd be appreciated!!

Anyone know what would cause that and how do I fix it? |

I know nothing about Macs I'm afraid and it's amazing to hear that they
remove ribbonx from files they save. If you can't find a way to fix this I can only suggest that you put your ribbonx in an addin that your main file opens and closes when it is activated and deactivated. This can be a hassle of course since users have to keep the files together. "Mike" wrote in message ... Jim, I checked, was not enabled, so I enabled it, but this doesn't seem to be the issue.
