Opening a .xlw file

[Hal Kingsley]

Hi all,

I am using Excel 2007 and when opening a file that was emailed to me with an
..xlw extension nothing happens. I click on it and nothing. No errors, excel
does open, but thats it.

Please help I cannot see to find any answers to this anywhere, thanks.

Hal.

Hi Hal,

Just a stab in the dark.

Make a copy and try changing the file extension from .xlw to .xls
and see if that will open.

Hal
an .xlw is a workspace file, it stores information about a group of
workbooks, and their state (visible, tiled etc).
You need the .xls files that the .xlw refers to, in the same relative
location to do anything useful
