I have installed the file format converter application on top of MS Office XP
to be able to read MS Office 2007 files. When I open an Excel 2007 file, the
file name is changed and it opens as "Read Only", though the file was not
read only initially. This does not happen when I open MS Word 2007 files.
Does anyone know a way to avoid this from happening? Thanks.
 
This appears to happen when the file you've opened has some attribute that
saving in Excel 2003 would not preserve, like data beyond column IV. Of
course it would probably be something different in your case. I think you
can find out what it is by trying to save the workbook in Excel 97-2003
format in Excel 2007. A warning about what would be lost should pop up.
