Excel 2003 to 2007

[NirOrtal]

Hi

I upgrade me Office from 2003 to 2007.
I opened one of my old Excel file in the new Excel and save it as Excel 2007
macro enable.
I sent it to a group of users. Some of them don’t have Excel 2007 yet and
they are using Excel 2003. They have to download the Backward Compatibility
from Microsoft to open it.
When they open it they got the message “File Conversion in Progress…†and
nothing happened. After few minutes another message pop up “Microsoft Office
Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE actionâ€

What is it and how can I avoid that?

Thanx

Next time just do save as and save it in 2003 format.

Hi,

Try choose Tools, Options, General, and check Ignore other applications.
(in 2003)
