Hi,

Ok, I have 2 users both running Excel 200 SP3 on XP Pro.

User A created a spread *** and then emails it to user B.

User B edits the spread***.She doesn't change the data itself, just
inserts page breaks and a header on each page.

User B mails the *** back to user A.

Now when User A opens this document she gets a glimpse of the edited
document with the page breaks etc... after 1-2 seconds the excel ***
reverts back to the original created by user A in the first place.
When we open the page break preview there are no page breaks.
On user Bs PC the document displays fine.

When User A mailed the doc to me the same thing happens on my machine.

So I took an edited copy from User B and placed it in a network share.
Now, when I copy the file to my desktop and open it , it's fine.
When user A does the same the page breaks disappear.

ANyone seen this before, I'm sure its got to be a minor setting on User As
Excel.
Or is it some wierd cache thing going on?

Please help,

Thanks in advance.....
