hi friends!
One of my friend gave me some excel workbooks which are actually made on 2007. i have office 2003 at my home so i needed to convert it through compatibility pack. I tried but it said failed to convert.
i thought some problem with the pack, but it is successfully converting other 2007 files in to 2003. what could be the matter with this file?
Hi, this does happen from time to time..
Its usually either:
1 a corrupt file that you have been sent
2 formatting in a cell that does not allow the converter to work correctly
3 A macro or other device in the file that is causing the trouble.
A quick and easy solution is to ask the owner of the file to resend it to you in Excel 2003 format (they just need to "save as" on their computer with the Excel workbook open, and select 97-2003 file format from the dropdown box. If they then email it to you, you should have no problems….
But if you still have still no joy when opening the new file directly from your email client, then save the new file to your desktop and then open it from there with Excel
