Excel: File Format Does Not Change to Normal When Saving

 * }

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, versions 2.x, 3.0, 4.0

-

SUMMARY
Microsoft Excel will not convert a file's format to Normal when saving if the file was originally created or saved in a format other than Excel's Normal format.

For example, if a Lotus 1-2-3 worksheet is opened into Excel and Save is chosen from the File menu, the file will be saved in Lotus 1-2-3 format (WKS or WK1).

To save the worksheet in Excel's Normal format, do the following:


 * 1) From the File menu, choose Save As.
 * 2) Click the Options button.
 * 3) Select the Normal option and click OK.
 * 4) Click the Save button.
