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.

Problem with extending list formats and formulas
Hey all- I'm having a problem with extending list formats and formulas using Excel 2000. I know there are limitations to what that feature can do, but I thought I'd check here, since I have a very simple example that isn't working. I create a sheet with two columns. In the column A, I just enter any arbitrary number in each of the first 10 cells. For column B, I want to calculate the difference between the last two values in column A.

Inserting pictures into Excel Sheet at a particular size

Column width in Excel 2003
My Bureau Chief has an Excel 2003 document that he receives from our finacial unit. When he tries to print the document out it shows ###### in different cells throughout the entire document. In the past when he used Excel 2000 he would just double click on the right hand side of the top of the column and it would expand the column one character larger and would print the whole number in each of those cells. In Excel 2003 when he does this, it still shows the #####'s and he has to physically go in and move the column over ever so slightly to get it to print out correctly. When th...
How do I set my Excel Chart to not show areas where I have no dat.

How to make one CSV file from two Excel sheets?
I have a huge database with about 400 columns. They are divided into two sheets - due to Excel limitation 256 columns in one sheet. I need to make one CSV file from these both sheets. The last column of first sheet should be followed by the first column of the second sheet. Is there any way how to do it directly from Excel? Or do you know any simple utility that can put together two CSV files exported from Excel? Thanks for any help Marek L. That sort of stiching can only be done using a hex editor. (And not all hex editors are created equal.) I did a quick search on the web and ther...
Show/hide is showing although the button isn't selected- word 2007
I cant get rid of the show/hide option even though the button isn't selected. Does anyone know how to fix it? I have tried shutting down the computer but it hasn't helped. This isn't a problem for other account users on this computer. Thanks, Bec The Show/Hide ¶ button toggles the display between showing ALL nonprinting characters (formatting marks) and those that are specifically selected in Tools | Options | View or Office Button | Word Options | Display. -- Suzanne S.

Outlook 2007 Inbox Folder Missing
User is running Server 2003 and Office 2007. When he launches Outlook 2007 he has no "Inbox" in his "All Mail Items" list, which is under Mailbox - User Name. Using OWA it doesn't show up there either. He can get to it by launching Outlook and going to the "Outlook Today" page and clicking on "Inbox". He can send and receive.

How do you convert an add-in from acc 2000 to acc 2007?
We have a bunch of access add-ins that we created in acc 2000. Trying to upgrade to acc 2007 but we can't seem to get the add-ins to work. Is there a equivalent to the USYSREGINFO? We can't even find the table (or any system tables) when we open the original myaddin.mda in acc 2007. If there is a different way to register it, anyone know how? We were able to find the add-in manager and add the add-in. Could not edit the path where the add-in shuold be copied because we couldn't update the USYSREGINFO. Any help, pointers, guidance would be appreciated. Thanks. Z. Comments ...
Word 2007: Create a referenced date control with a default date
I am trying to do the following for a client: A template for a letter has a locked (grouped, but not protected) section on the first page containing content controls for name, address and date. On the following pages there is a header with REF fields referencing bookmarks around the content controls on the first page. This works fine for copying the data to the header. Now I want a default date in the date control on the first page, so I add a CREATEDDATE field inside the control. This gets filled in automatically when the document is generated, and the user can change the d...
Reproducable bug with Access 2007 runtime: macro, rename table does not work
Dear all, I have a macro renaming the table X to A. This macro works fine when access 2K3 is installed. With run-time 2007 (and perhaps with Access 2007 also), I don't get any error message and the rename is NOT done. (Run-time allows me to delete and import objects, but not to rename?) The table has no relations. Can someone tell me if there is a patch/workaround for this? Seems to be to be a (severe) bug. Regards, Alain ...
