When I open in Excel 2007 for Windows workbook with charts saved in Mac OS, I see the message "File Error: Data May Be Lost". In Excel 2003 for Windows this message appears as many times as many sheets there are in workbook. Maybe someone knows what's the reason?

Unfortunately you haven't provided the info needed... "Mac OS" means very little. The question is "What version of Mac Excel are you using, what file format are the files saved as & what type of content is in the files?" In general, what you're running into is that Excel 2003 & prior [Windows] and Excel 2004 & prior [Mac] use a different file format than Excel 2007 [Windows] & Excel 2008 [Mac]. The newer versions also use a different graphics engine. When 'crossing over', file conversion takes place & some types of content cannot be directly converted. Usually, however, it's referring to graphics formatting of the older charts & is simply a 'warning' to that effect, but there's no actual loss of data content.

Thanks for your request Bob! So here are the details you need. The files are saved in Excel for Mac 2004 in .xls file format. The content is "tables+charts". The problem definitely is caused by charts. I can you send the example of file if you give your mail. Thanks in advance:) Igor On 11 =C6=C5=D7, 20:38, CyberTaz <onlygeneralt...@com.cast.net> wrote: > Unfortunately you haven't provided the info needed... "Mac OS" means very > little.
