    Excel files showing up in foreign language


    I recently started receiving Excel files in English from USA and opening files only to see spreadsheets written in a foreign, maybe eastern european language. Is there any reason this would start happening?

    :)

  3. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING AN UNWANTED FOREIGN LANGUAGE. IT ONLY SHOWS UP WHEN I CLICK ON THE 'HOUSE" SYMBEL

    Hi Mary,

    For me to provide you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please allow me to gather more information regarding the problem that you have.

    • Where do you see the unwanted foreign language?
    • Have you installed or added a new language on your PC?
    • Where do you see the house symbol?

    If possible, please share with us a screenshot of the page where you see the house symbol. This will really help in sorting out the problem.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Regards.

  4. Excel files showing up in foreign language

    Foreign Disk

    Hi,

    You will only lose the data in the Foreign Disk once you convert it to a "Basic Disk" in Disk Management.

    To allow the disk to be recognized, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key and type "Disk Management" and click on it.
    • Right-click on the foreign disk and select "Import Foreign Disks..."


    Feel free to post back with more information.
