There could be some corruption in the file ... use Save As and save it with a new name. Close the old one and open the new one and see if you still get the error. If you do, try saving it in a different format (.txt or something) ... then open it and save it as an xls again and see what happens. If this is the only file giving you this problem, then it's obvious there's something amiss in this one file. Linda ****************************** Linda F.

I'm sorry that I'm not making sense. EXCEL says These formats will be converted to the closest format available. It is NOT doing that. If it was doing that I would NOT continue to get the error every time I save it and then re-open it. I'm looking for a way to make it do that: i.e.: save it as an XLS --- do whatever is necessary to save it as an XLS --- so the error goes away and so that people who can only process an XLS can open it. OR explicitly tell me the problem so I can fix it. Right now it is LYING to me. It says it will convert on a save to the closest format available ... and it is not. Yes ... I continue to get the error with a save and reopen and a save and reopen and a save and reopen and a ... This "spreadsheet" is trivial. Mostly simple tables with no calculations. One table with some calculations. I'm just not understanding why what it is doing is different than what it says it will do. ************************************************************* ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
