Hello,

At work i have excell from OFFICE 1997
At home i have eccell from office 2000
When i save my work at home with office 2000
and try to reopen it at work with my office 97
the files opens but the text is not correct and is not
placed like i had it at home.
I cannot install office 2000 at work because it is in
a server or something. Is there a possibility to fix this.
So i can work at home on my documents and reopen them at work.

You'r help is very appreciated.

Kind regards
Gino

Can you give some details as far as what happens with the text?

Also, are you saving them as "Microsoft Excel Workbook?" Have you tried changing the version that you save the Excel files to? For example, when you save, under "Save as type", try MS Excel 97-2000/5.0 first, then even MS Excel 5.0/95 and see if that resolves the problem.
