Re: Excel 2007Warning, "The following fetures cannot be saved in a macro-free workbook:

Unfortunately I have to save as xls, and that's all I've been doing it with
because of other computers that I am working with. I get this message on the
97-2003 saving of the xls work*** and I've got a lot of macros in it. I'll
have to do some more homework, thanks so much guys and girls..

if you save it as an xls, you should not get that message, but you would
lose any of the new features in 2007, like some of the conditional
formatting options and the expanded rows and columns.

if you try saving as an xlsx, the 2007 default, you will get that message
if you have any macros.

Thanks Gary, WIll that still make the file work on 2003 and XP. I've been
saving the file as 97-2003 xls for compatability.

you need to save the file as a different type, .xlsm.

XML file type Extension
Workbook .xlsx
Macro-enabled workbook .xlsm
Template .xltx
Macro-enabled template .xltm
Non-XML binary workbook .xlsb
Macro-enabled add-in .xlam

Hello, Office 2007 specifically Excel 2007 Win XP Proof
I'm getting a msg block while in Excel Microsoft Office

"The following features cannot be saved in macro free workbooks.

VB Project
To save a file with these features, click no, and then choose a macro -
enabled file type in the file type list.
To continue saving as a macro freee workbook, click yes.

I have no idea what it means and can't find a reference in any book.
Could someone let me to understand and how to activate macros in 2007
Thanks in advance
