I've tried all the zip formats, including separate formatting for the
5-digit and 9-digit codes, but I haven't found anything that lets me

I have a monthly timesheet where I track my hours.

I applied the update to office 2008 last night and today, when I open excel
files, I get an error message which says "File error: data may have been

I opened up an xlsb file that I had created on a windows machine using Excel
2008. Excel crashed and then tried to recover my work. When it loads up it
reloads the "recovered" file. If I go to close Excel it then asks me if I
want to save the file, cancel or delete the recovered ...

Dear Mr. Bob Greenblatt and Mr. Phillip Jones,
I did not mean to make the print preview function in Excel 2004 for Mac seem simplistic. I did say you could "make corrections" and "generally troubleshoot" a workbook as a way of avoiding detailing the many things that could be ...

Hi, all -- So I use this mega-financial planning spreadsheet every
other day. It was created in an older Excel version with -- yes --
Virtual Basic macros.
So of course when I open my new (better!) Excel with Office for Mac

I created a word document that has 5 columns (budget doc.), and I would like

retype everything in Excel all over again.  Does anyone know if this is
possible?
