percy2 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Much appreciated boys! Thanks. Any ideas on my other problem Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy2 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Just to report back. CX did not have an option to convert to .ods so I tried .xls The converted file when opened in Calc only had 1 sheet rather than 12. I then tried Zamzar and received the following message. Hello from Zamzar !There was a problem converting your file - We attempted to perform the conversion you requested from xlsx to ods but unfortunately the conversion failed - our support team have been notified and are looking into the problem. Please click here if you would like to try and perform your conversion again. Conversion failed for the following file Any suggestions?

A_Traveller Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) If you still have MS Office available, given your 'not missing' point above try this from Microsoft. Regards PS The irony here is that this format is MS' 'Open XML' format PPS Other option is to tell them to set MS 2007 Office to compatibility with MS' own prior releases.

Guest Reimar Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 OK, you can also download a 60 day Trial of Office 2007 HERE (http://us1.trymicrosoftoffice.com/default.aspx?culture=en-US) You can open the files in Office 2007 format and save them after in 98-2003 format.
