    I got a spread sheet in excel 97-2003 format. It opens fine on my machine using Excel 2000. But- when opening with Excel 2007, the format is screwed up, and I am not getting the same view, and columns are missing. It seems to open with a 4 tiled view, which I can change, but only to 2 tiles, and not a single page view. I can't edit what I need to, because the column that is the ID is missing, and with over 200 lines, I can't exactly guess at it. Any ideas are appreciated.
    Oh- Operating system for Office 200 is Windows 2000, and machine with Office 2007 is #*^%$#% Vista!

    You need to open it in compatibility mode.

    Since I don't run Vista nor Office 2007, I'm not sure how to set it to this mode.
    ooops, looks like it is on
    I guess it doesn't work that great.
