Cannot Open Any Publisher Files
Don't know what happened but I can no longer open any .pub files regardless of which version created them. Currently I am using Pub 2003 SP2. It is unlikely I have anything older than version 2000. Files saved on network share or local drive will not open. The message is, Publisher cannot open the file. I created a test file and saved it to the local drive and I cannot open that one either. If I save in .rtf format I can open the file, but that loses graphics. I ran the Office repair successfully. I have applied all latest updates.Word and Excel do not seem to be affected. The O/S is X...

Can't Open Excel File
I have a very large excel file (63mb) that I can't open. Everytime I try it thinks for a while and then spits out the error "Not Enough Memory." Now the file is ugly, using many external links, vlookups, etc. One sheet is about 8000 rows by 40 columns with many of those columns being fairly complex formulas involving a dozen other columns. Now I know what you're thinking, what the heck is he using Excel for something this complicated? But it's grown beyond what I expected it to be and I don't have time (right now) to move it into any other program. That aside, m...

Spreadsheet files missing .xls extension
A client called saying that some Excel files had disappeared, but when I did a search for specific names they were found - without the .xls extension. They have no idea how they got renamed. Once they were renamed with the ..xls, they worked fine, but I'm baffled by how they could have lost their extensions. Any thoughts on this?

Excel2000-File size is increasing without changes!!
This morning, my excel file was 1.5M. Right now, it is at 32M. Seems to increase every time I save. What have I done? Joe Joe Excel over-estimates the size of the "used range" quite often. On one of your sheets hit CRTL + END to see where you end up. Could be far below and to the right of where your actual data range is.

Import multiple files to CRM
I'm new to CRM. Our company attaches many files to the notes section on each account (e.g., signed, scanned business plans, incentive amendments, etc.). My question: is there either 1) a way to drag and drop the attachment to the account notes section easily or 2) another way to more quickly add the attachments to the account, other than opening each account's notes and adding the file? Thanks, Cindy No these are the only ways this can be done using out of the box features. Hi Cindy, CRM's standard document management features are pretty poor - it's not really design...

Insert File Source Path in Workbook
In excel 2000 are you able to insert the files path on at the base of the workbook as say a footer? Not just the filename - the whole path eg: h:\mydocuments\excel\book1.xls Hi Carl, Not part of Excel 2000, though it was added in Excel 2002. For versions prior to Excel 2002 you need a macro.
