    Hi there

    I hope somebody can help me please!

    Since receiving a Microsoft Office update this morning, I am now unable to open certain spreadsheets in Excel. They were fine before this update so can only assume something is in the update that doesn't agree with the spreadsheets.

    Is there any way to solve this issue, or take the update back? Have even gone to my back up files and still can't open those files.

    Please help!

    Many thanks

    Mac do not use native MS Excel, it's in fact a converted version. Some functions are just not the same. Like how dates are handled, numbered and laid out. Google on the date function and see how the Excel Mac version differs from the PC version. I would never, never, ever handle anything important or busuiness wise in Excel on a Mac, because it's two totally different programs, and with calculations being very precious, I can't have that go wrong. Open a Word file or som toher shit,, no one is ever going to car eif the margin is off by 0.25, but if calculations are wrong in Excel - boy are you in trouble!

    Print this page if you want to use it as a reference when you are offline.

    Quit any applications that are running, including all Office applications, Microsoft Messenger, and Office Notifications, because they might interfere with installation.

    Make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements.

    Click Download, or click the link for the language version that you want.

    Follow the instructions on the screen to save the file to your hard disk. If you are using Safari, the downloaded file is saved to the desktop unless you specified a different location in the Preferences dialog box of Safari. To check your preferences, on the Safari menu, click Preferences, and then click General.

    Double-click the file you downloaded in step 5 to place the Office 2004 11.4.1 Update volume on your desktop, and then double-click the Office 2004 11.4.1 Update volume to open it. This step might have been performed for you.

    In the Office 2004 11.4.1 Update volume window, double-click the Office 2004 11.4.1 Update application to start the update process, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

    If the installation finishes successfully, you can remove the update installer from your hard disk. To verify that the installation finished successfully, see the Updated files section of the Read Me file included with this update. To remove the update installer, first drag the Office 2004 11.4.1 Update volume to the Trash, and then drag the file you downloaded to the Trash.his update is also available from Microsoft AutoUpdate, an application that can automatically keep your Microsoft software up to date. To use AutoUpdate, open an Office application, and then on the Help menu, click Check for Updates.
