In using Excel 2000, I made a big spreadsheet with specific font formatting
and many sheets.

When finished, i put the file on a network drive (I work for a company).
Another user accessed the file, but the font was changed, pictures moved, and
so on.

The user also has Excel 2000, and also has the font installed.

How can I fix it so the user can access the file as it was made?
 
Hi Concernicus,

Unless the other user's system has the same setup as yours, including the same display driver & driver settings and printer driver &
settings, you can't count on the workbook looking the same on both systems.

If you have a finished product that needs to be presented in a particular way, try creating a PDF and sending that.
 
How do I save my excel in a PDF format, then?

If you're using Excel 2007, it has a save to pdf option. For earlier versions, you need a pdf distiller such as Adobe Acrobat Pro -
there are many other available too, for fewer $ if you don't need all of Acrobat's functionality.
