Formatting Lost in Excel 2007
Good afternoon, I've spent a lot of time googling but all I really came up with is that it may be due to links (which I have deleted) so hopefully someone out there will have an answer. We have a very large workbook that has been used since before 2005 that we have never had a problem with. Two months ago, we started using Excel 2007 but had no issues. In about mid-April when opening the file, all of the formatting is gone! So we assumed someone saved it as the wrong file so we copied an older version of the file and reformatted the entire thing. Saved it and reopened and no formatting again! As mentioned, the file had a ton of broken links that were removed as we thought that was the issue but that didn't help. I've found that if I save it as a xlsx file, it will keep the formatting (so far) but we have people with the 2003 version of excel that need to use the file as well. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Krysten

Your file may have corruption problems that extend beyond cell formats. You may want to roundtrip the file thru HTML and back and see if that helps?... SaveAs htm/html close then reopen and SaveAs .xlsx If you do get the file squared away, you might consider keeping the file as an .xls file type. If your file does not contain confidential info or the confidential info can be overwritten or removed, then I would like to get a copy of the file to review.

Windows mail won't send ms excel attchments
windows mail won't send either MS Excel 97-2003 or 2007 formats if I try to send either by itself. I have to attach same file I want to send in both formats. Then, only the 97-2003 format actually gets through. Either way, I'm getting notice that Mail can't send one or more attachments. Any suggestions to help eliminate the glitch would be most appreciated. Windows Mail doesn't care what the attachment is. But make sure the file you are trying to attach is not open anywhere else (i.e. in Excel). Gary VanderMolen, Microsoft MVP (Mail) "woodrow" wrot...

Format Smartlist field
Is it possible to format a smartlist field? Let's say from 2 decimals to 4 decimals? -- SmokyDuck This is only possible in SmartList Builder SmartLists, not in the 'out of the box' SmartLists. In SmartList Builder, you can click on the Display Name of a field, then click the blue arrow in the header to go to Set Field Options.

In Excel Print preview freezes up PC
I have Office 2000 Professional. Whenever I use print pre- view in Excel my system freezes up. What could be causing this? I THINK that last year I had a simular problem and fixed it by somehow deleting a corrupted Office Toolbar file, then rebooting so that the file has to be regenerated. Could that be the solution? If so, what is the name of the file? Thanks. ...

Outlook 2003 unresponsive when viewing messages in HTML format.
About two weeks ago, I started Outlook and went in to view messages. On some messages, Outlook would appear to lock up and my harddrive light would come on continuously for a minute or more. The body of the message would appear as an empty window. We have discovered that the problem only occurs for email messages that are in HTML format. I can prevent the problem by going to: Tools > Options > Email Options and checking "Read all standard mail in plain text". When I have this option turned on, I can see a plain text version of the message. Unfortunately, much of ...
Select Case Conditional Formatting Sub?
I've tried to use the Sub below (Posted by Julie D I think) as a work around for more than three conditional formats and it works great IF I enter the data directly in the target cells. But, if the taget range is populated by a formula the color changes do not occur. Is there a way to modify this to work when the cells in the target range are formula driven?
