Combo Boxes turn to Graphics when Opening Original Windows Version

R

Rod

This has been a problem for a while and I'm hoping someone (MS
Development team) will have a fix by now.

I'm opening a file created in Windows version of Excel and all the combo
boxes are converting to graphics. I'm running Office X. Is there a fix for
this yet?

How about in the new version of Excel in Office 2004?

There's no fix because the comboboxes are ActiveX controls, which
currently at least, are a Windows-only technology.

Workbooks designed to be cross-platform should use the comboboxes from
the Forms toolbar instead.
