Al,
It is very likely that you are running Norton Antivirus on your PC. NAV
touches excel files in a way that makes embedded XLS files crash Office vX.
This as been fixed in Office:Mac:2004. There is somewhere on the MS web site
some instruction to type in on your PC to disable the NAV function that
creates the problem. However note that :
- this will not fixe the already 'touched' xls files
- this will disable the NAV macros virus protection... Not a very good idea
The best solution : deploy Office:Mac 2004 everywhere :-)
BAM
