Hello all,
Ok, here is my problem my friend is sending me an "Microsoft Exell 98" document through email (a Yahoo type of Email). She has a Machintosh and I have a PC. The problem is that when I try to open it in my computer with "Exell 2000", it comes out all scrambled and unreadable! This is driving me crazy and it is VERY important.
Any help is appreciated
Bandit

She may have the option as saving it to something different than she is. That me be a good route to check. Sorry, not familiar with the mac versions of office real well. But maybe there's an option to save it as an excel 97 or similar that would open fine in excel 2000 for ya?
here, maybe this will help ya out; it's just reverse from what you're trying to do but maybe it can help
Move files between Microsoft Windows and the Macintosh
The Macintosh must be running system software version 7.5 or later, have PC Exchange installed, and be equipped with a disk drive that can read MS-DOS floppy disks. The Macintosh Excel version must correspond to the Excel for Windows version. For example, to move files from Excel 2000 to the Macintosh, you must be running Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition.
Save your Windows-based file to a 3.5-inch floppy disk.
Insert the floppy disk in the Macintosh floppy disk drive.
In Excel on the Macintosh, click Open on the File menu.
Locate and then double-click the file you want.
Notes
If you have access to a network share that is connected both to personal computers running Windows and to Macintosh computers, you can place the files on the network and then open the files from either type of computer. You can also easily move files between Windows and the Macintosh if you have access to a Windows NT server that is set up with Services for the Macintosh. For more information, see your Windows NT documentation.
You can run QuickTime movies only on the Macintosh. The Microsoft Excel mapping feature, the Web Form Wizard, Quattro Pro converters, and the Access Links add-in program are not available for the Macintosh.
Because Macintosh files do not have file name extensions, you should use *.* to search for Macintosh files.
