My Excel file won't open
I am making a catalog in Excel. It contains about 140,000KB, with photos. It
has 12 tabs. Each time I opened it to work , it was getting more and more 'sluggish' and would take about 2 minutes to finish saving. Now when I click on it or chose'open', it times out-- no hourglass- it will not open. I have Microsoft XP. |

My Excel file won't open
You may be able to open and repair this workbook. Try this:
* File - Open * Go to the folder where the workbook is located. * Right click on the file and choose SELECT. * The Open button will have several choices, one is "OPEN AND REPAIR". I've only done this with "corrupted" WORD docs so good luck. "Claudia" wrote in message ... I am making a catalog in Excel. It contains about 140,000KB, with photos. It has 12 tabs.

My Excel file won't open
I right clicked on the file --there was no option of SELECT. Is this feature
only in Word? "Barb Reinhardt" wrote: You may be able to open and repair this workbook.

Claudia, in 2002, from the open dilog box select your file, there is a drop
down box next to the open button you can select open and repair from there -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!

My Excel file won't open
My version is Excel 2000. I select the file. Right click.The drop down box
has these options: Open, Open read only , Open as copy, Print, Scan with Avast, Print, Open with..., ad to archive, add to catalog rar, compress, Cut, Copy, etc. Nothing about repair Other fixes I have tried: I emptied my temp files and also checked to see that each sheet was only one page. I'm going to sleep "Paul B" wrote: Claudia, in 2002, from the open dilog box select your file, there is a drop down box next to the open button you can select open and repair from there -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!
