Thanks to all for your help. The method described here helped me:

Excel has an integrated function Open and repair, which can be used to force the application to restore a corrupted document. Select a file in the Open window, look down at the Open button and click on the black arrow to bring out the nested menu. From the list of possible actions, choose Open and repair.
