There are problems with Exel 2007 converting to 2003 where worksheet
are missing, math is done wrong, numbers magically appear in formulas
and other numbers seem to change in the conversion. From what I
understand, this may be restricted to educatioinal versions given to
schools. From some of the other blogs, I gather that 2007 is becoming
a bit of a pain. There should be a fix for this from the big and
mighty Microsoft. Apparently, a lot of students and faculty are fuming!

Can you give a specific example?
best wishes

I just opened a 2003 file in 2007 and I'm not even sure I can quite describe
the bizzareness of it...at first I thought it was blank, but in the formula
bar I could see my data, so I knew it was there, but the only way I can
describe it is that the sheet looked blank. So, I went into Page Layout View
to see if I could see more, and it looks like all my rows are miniscule...but
resizing them doesn't fix it. Then I get a wierd message about not enough
system memory to display...yikes! Anyone know what's up with this?? I can
send the file it it helps.

FYI, this "resolved" itself. I'm wondering since I had literally (that day)
installed 07, and I don't believe I re-booted...maybe an update didn't get
installed or something? Since then, I have re-booted and all appears to be
fine...? Thanks for the offer to help. _c
