Opening Excel Spread Sheets

[Moose_59]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I have created a spread sheet using Excel from Office 2008 for Mac and sent it to other people and they can not open it using Office 2007 on their PC's. Is there a special way that I must save the spread sheets or something I must do when creating them, or settings I must change within the program?

Problems of this nature are typically caused by the manner in which the file
is handled by the (I assume 'sent' means as an attachment?) email software
involved. On your end make sure to save the file with the appropriate file
name extension, be certain that your email software is properly configured
for encoding attachments, & send a zipped copy of the file.

You have no control over what happens on the other end, but PC users need to
learn to download the attachment to their local HD & open that copy rather
than opening it from their mail server. The file formats are identical, so
whether created by 2007 or 2008 should be virtually transparent if the file
is properly handled.
