  2. excel file causes instability in "windows explorer"

    When I open an excel file by double clicking on the name in windows explorer, the file opens OK but at the same

    time, the explorer file list jumps up and down as it lists and de-lists the

    excel temp file. It is very distracting. I can close the explorer window or

    simply change to another folder. It occurs only on one of my computers and only on some excel files

    It happens only with excel files and not with word or acrobat

    Any suggestions where to look for the problem. We've reinstalled Office 10 and reset my windows profile. nothing helped so far.

  3. Excel files

    Hi,

    I'm Diego Rios, an Independent Advisor willing to help other Microsoft customers.

    You can try the following procedures in the links below, explain how open an document Spreadsheet in Excel:

    Open an Excel spreadsheet.

    Right-click the Excel icon in the taskbar and select " Excel "

    You should now have two Excel windows – one of the windows will have a blank Excel spreadsheet.

    Select File, then Open, and then the file you want to open in the window with the blank spreadsheet.

    Please let me know if this helped and works.

    Best Regards,

    Diego R.

    I need to convert Quattro pro files to windows Office 2007

    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/ha010448731033.aspx

    Install the Quattro Pro 5.0 converter
    To install the converter for Quattro Pro versions 1.0 through 5.0 for Windows, do the following:

    Click Start on the Windows taskbar, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
    Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
    Click the name of the Microsoft Office 2000 or Microsoft Excel 2000 program that you have, and then click Add/Remove.
    Click Add or Remove Features, and locate the Quattro Pro 5.0 Converter under Microsoft Excel for Windows.
    Click Run From My Computer to install the converter to your hard disk.
    Click Update Now.
    Open a Quattro Pro file
    To open a Quattro Pro file in Excel, follow these steps:

    Click Open on the File menu.
    In the Look in list, click the drive or folder that contains the file you want to open, and then locate the folder that contains the file.
    In the Files of type list, click Quattro Pro 1.0/5.0 (Win) (*.wb1) if your files are from Quattro Pro for Windows versions 1.0 through 5.0, or click Quattro Pro/DOS Files (*.wq1). The former requires installation of the converter, as outlined above, before it appears in the list.
    Double-click the file you want to open.
    Notes

    You cannot save files in the Quattro Pro 1.0/5.0 (Win) (*.wb1) format. If you open one of these files and make changes to it, you can save changes by saving as a Microsoft Excel Workbook (*.xls) or in another spreadsheet format.
    You can save changes in the Quattro Pro/DOS format, but changes made using features that are unique to Excel may be lost.


    or


    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP052538431033.aspx

    You can open a file created in another program, such as Lotus 1-2-3 or Quattro Pro, in Microsoft Excel the same way you would open an Excel file. You can then save the file in its original file format or as an Excel workbook using the standard Excel save commands. Files saved as Excel workbooks might not retain all of their original formatting, and features and formatting of an Excel workbook might not be available in other programs.
