"File Error: Data May Be Lost" error when opening workbook saved inMac

[Игорь]

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
