334545 2005-03-15 21:44:00 I've justed moved up to a new computer with XP. I installed Office 97 PRO but Excel will allow only one character as a File Name. Imported Excel files, when opened, give only a Workbook, without pages. Imported files can then be opened.
Help!

334546 2005-03-15 22:06:00 That happens if you are running the program in "compatability mode" I believe.

Turn off compatability mode (it is not required for 97 to run in XP)

334547 2005-03-15 22:36:00 Thanks for that. Excuse my ignorance, but where do I find the Compatability Mode switch, in order to turn it off? Geoff (2151)

Right click the program's icon (assuming it is on the desktop) and click on Properties and then the Compatibility tab.
