I was not clear. How do I make the error go away SAVING IT TO AN XLS file (that is a requirement). The "error message" says that the no longer supported features will be converted. So if they are converted, I do not understand why I get the error when I reopen the saved XLS file and then save it again. -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Patty Ball Sent: Saturday, August 31, 2013 8:46 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: How do I make this error go away? The newer excel programs use an xlsx extension not xls anymore. If you try to save it to an earlier format, xls, you will see the error which is telling you that some of the features cannot be used or will not show in an earlier format. Simply save it with the xlsx extension and you should be fine Patty Ball Marblehead, MA ----- Original Message ----- From: MSO@xxxxxxxxx To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 31, 2013 9:39:44 AM Subject: [mso] How do I make this error go away? When I save my Excel spreadsheet to an XLS file I get this error: Some cells or styles in this workbook contain formatting that is not supported by the selected file format. These formats will be converted to the closest format available. So I click continue and go on. The next time I open the file and save the file I get the same error. How do I make the error go away? ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
