Windows 10: Running Excel 2007 in Windows 10

I have read of many problems trying to get Excel or Office 2007 to work in Windows 10.

I have just aquired a new desktop PC with Windows 10 and at first copied across my Office 12 to the Microsoft office file, however it wouldn't run.

So I installed my original copy of Office 2007 and it now runs Excel and Word okay.

However I can open them with a shortcut and the select to open any file from the program, but if I select a folder with say an excel file and double click it to open, it shows a blank Excel 2007 spreadsheet.

If I try to select open with... it only shows Excel 2016 as an option, no Excel 2007

Anyone know how to fix this?

Will office 2007 run in Windows 10?

I've been asked to update to version 10. I use Word 2007, actually office 2007 with excel.

Will these run under windows 10?

Can not open Mail attachments prepared in Excel

Windows 10 now prevents me from opening Email attachments that were prepared in Excel 2007. I can open Word 2007 attachments but not that prepared in Excel 2007. Was Excel 2007 disabled my Microsoft in it's most recent Windows 10 release to force people
to again buy a new product or is this a problem with my Windows 10 ? This problem just started following the most recent Windows 10 release. I know that Microsoft stopped supporting Excel 2007 but that should not give them the right to deliberately disable
a product previously purchased.

 

You have to associate the .xls files with your 2007.

 

It seems you have to choose a default app in Windows 10 but no option shows for Excel 2007 only Excel 2016 or App store.

Is there another way to associate Excel 2007 with .xls files?

 

Choose other apps. Browse to: Local Disk (C*Smile; Program Files (x86); Microsoft Office; OFFICE11; select EXCEL.EXE

 

Thanks for reply but no Office 11 showing in Program Files (x86) Microsoft Office only 12 &16 *Sad

 

I use Excel 2003 without problems. This file is in an OFFICE11 folder. Probably Excel 2007 is in one of the other folders. Just try.

 

I have tried with OFFice 12 which is Excel 2007 but all it does is open a blank Excel 2007, no file opens with it unless I then select to open it from the program... if I double click on an excel file it opens a blank Excel 2007 program only.....

 

Settings, Default apps, Choose default apps by file type, for both .xls and .xlsx choose your default appl. Maybe Excel 2007 is offered there.

 

I looked at that earlier, but just took another look, can choose 2007 for .xlsx but daly not for .xls which is the one I need, selected the .xlsx but it doesn't open any excel files.

I appreciate your efforts to help, thanks.

 

And what happens when you right-click an Excel file, select Open WITH, more apps and check always use this.......; in more apps, look for other apps in this PC and browse to Excel.exe (corresponding with Excel 2007).

 

I have tried that either it does nothing and if I browse to Excel.exe it just opens a blank Excel 2007 page not the file....

 

There is some discussion of running both Office 2007 & a later version of Office in
Is it possible to run 2 different versions of Microsoft Office on your computer
Installing Office 2010 over Office 2007 [this one mentions particular difficulties with having both Outlook 2007 & a later Outlook]

If the Office 2016 on your new computer is just a time-limited trial version, your simplest solution might be to uninstall both Office 2016 & Office 2007 and then install Office 2007.

The best I've ever had two versions of Office concurrently on the same system was when I could run any one for as long as I liked even over weeks and many reboots.

Whenever I decided to use the other version the system would go into a fairly long delay, reporting "Setting Up Office nnnn", this could last several minutes before the Application actually was usable.

The automatic opening of files was very hit and miss, often not opening with the correct application even after the "Setting Up" phase had been completed.
