I'm using Excel (MS Office 2001) on my Mac 8600 w/ OS 9.1 (256 MB ram)
for school work where I'm making graphs (charts) for my data and I
find that when I make changes to the formating (resizing, positioning,
etc.) and save it, it never fails that when I open the file back up
later, some of the formating changes seem to have moved slighly from
the last time I was in the file- requiring me to spend some time to
re-format the figure (chart) the way I had it before. Mind you, my
adjustments are generally minor- relocating the figure in the "page"
(dashed outline) for alignment, shifting some the location of the text
box, etc. In some cases, I have made additional text boxes which are
pasted into the graph- but which have moved when the file has been
re-opened later.
I'm not the most experienced user, but I've been using MS Office for
years so I thought I knew/ understood the what I needed to know to use
Excel as needed. Am I missing something? Do I need to make some kind
of adjustments to Excel so that it retains the last changes I made
(some kind of special "save")? I probably should have posted something
a while back- I've been just grumbling and re-doing the format changes
as needed, saving and going forward, when I should have sought
knowledgable advice a few years back.
Any tips or advice would be extremely helpful.
