Viewing two different versions of the same document

First, my coworker and I are using Office 2003/Excel 2003.

My coworker made a change to an existing spreadsheet, then updated the
footer with the latest version number - 2.4.

She e-mailed the spreadsheet to me and asked that I review it. Upon review,
I noticed that the version in the footer showed 2.3. All her cell changes
were correct, but the footer showed an earlier version - 2.3. Thinking she
sent the incorrect version, I asked her to check the version in the e-mail
she had just sent to me. The spreadsheet in her e-mail showed version 2.4 in
the footer.

To summarize, we're looking at the same spreadsheet, but I'm seeing
different footer information than what she sees.

How can this happen??. Is there a setting in my version of Excel that I
need to reset???

Any information that you can share would be greatly appreciated.

If you're positive it wasn't an error by the sender, then I would suspect that
it was the email program that got mixed up (although I've never seen anything
like that).

I'd try saving the attachment into a separate folder, then opening that file
from excel.

Hey there Dave,

thanks for writing.

We had tried opening the spreadsheet thru Excel earlier, but got the same
ruslts.

Oh well, I guess we'll have to attribute this one to either sun spots or the
alignment of the planets!! ;>))

Thanks again.
