file format not valid

Guest

I am trying to open Excel files - nothing fancy, just regular files - but it
is giving me an error message that a Word document is "*.doc is not a valid
file format.". I didn't try to open these Word docs in anything other than
Word - why is Excel giving me this message and how do I get rid of it?

Thank you very much - that was exactly right - those Word files were in the
location where my Excel looks upon startup - now the error message is gone -
THANK YOU!

Glad it helped - I wasn't too sure I understood the problem correctly.
Thanks for the feedback.

Best wishes Harald
