Column widths in Excel 97

S

Stephen Pain

I am having problems in Excel 97 with columns resizing automaticall
when the workbook is closed and re-opened. Items are being formatte
such that text adn values no longer appear in cells in the correc
way.

The problem with this is that the sheets are then linked to
PowerPoint presentation, so everytime I try to open the spreadsheet t
update figures, all table sizes/column widths are wrong!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

There have been lots of posts complaining that sometimes xl97 won't keep the
columnwidths between closing and reopening.

When you click on Help|about, what version do you see?

If it's not xl97sr2, I'd install it.

the kb article has a link to this:

OFF97: How to Obtain and Install Office 97 SR-2

Some posters say that works and others post back saying it didn't.
