I use XP. I can creatre anew spreadsheet and save it. If I just close off the

file, but do not exit the program, the file i createt is listed in the folder

and will be displayed okay. However, if I close off Excel and then reload,

the file is still listed in the folder but when I try and open it I get a

window saying the file format is not valid.The original file has also been

transfered to Word but appears in a distorted format. My Word file includes

both Word and Excel files. I have run Systems Restore and my security

programs to no avail. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIX???? THANKS

Do you see EXCEL or OFFICE in this group's title? NO.

 

Ask elsewhere

Caps Lock problem.

Re: Excel corrupted

 

The constructive answers to an Excel question are usually best found in an

Excel or Office forum or newsgroup. This is a newsgroup for XP general

question.
