You really make it appear really easy along with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I believe I’d never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am having a look ahead to your subsequent post, I will attempt to get the cling of it!

fantastic issues altogether, you simply received a logo new reader. What might you recommend about your post that you made a few days ago? Any positive?

There’s one more step needed to save an old XLS as a new XLSX with more rows in the sheets. Create a new blank XLSX (outside compatability mode, getting there however works for you in the above). Then copy/move the old worksheets across to the new XLSX.

You are the guy with the answer!! Thank you. Why they even have that “Save files in this format” setting in Excel Options is unclear to me – since it does NOTHING!! And does not retain whatever you set there. Geez how frustrating! Thank you for this great tip that fixed the problem.

Ben,

That did it. Saving a xlsm file to my user folder XLSTART file solved the problem. Thanks.

Hi guys,

I know this is an old post but I had the same issue after my company upgraded to Office 2010 from 2003. I found the solution to be changing the file in my personal folder e.g.

C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

Thanks
Ben

This tip is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course there is a way to do it properly (as others have said above). This is how you do it properly:-

1) Open Excel
2) Click on Office Button ( the coloured one in top left corner)
3) Then in the next window click on Excel Options (bottom right)
4) In next window click on Save (4th one down on left hand side)
5) In next window towards the top where it says “Save files in this format” make sure the box next to it says “Excel Workbook” then click ok at bottom and that’s it. Now when you open Excel 2007 it will not be in compatability mode.

Hope that helps!

Does anyone know how to convert 100 “compatibility Mode” files into individual, unique files?
