File name problems - Microsoft Office 97 (only in Excel)

Robert · Jul 12, 2004

I am using Microsoft Office 97 on Windows XP and I am
encountering a problem when saving a file.

No matter how you type the filename, it only saves to the
first letter of the filename (example home becomes h)

Any way around this problem?

Check to see if Excel is running in Windows 95 compatibility mode.

There was a post that said:
When I disabled compatibility mode the file name problem went away.

And maybe this will help:
