MS 2007 / Windows Vista

Post by Nasser »

Hi,

I have created a couple of animated circuit diagrams and muliple choice questions and so on. All are working nicely with me. I am using MS 2007, Windows Vista Operating system. I sent my work as attached files to my supervisor to have a look at them and he told me that he can not run them. He tried to run them but without success. What could be the reason?

Thanks,
Nasser.

I suspect we may need some more information...

What format are the animations in? Are they animated .gifs? Embedded videos?

Hi Leif,

Sorry what i meant by animated is just changing coulor of lines and rectangles and make some shape visible and invisible :) by clicking on the button. I can send you an example if you like and see if you can open it without problem.

I keep saving my file as : Excel macro-Enabled Workbook

Thanks,
Nasser.

If your supervisor has an earlier version of Office than Office 2007, he can't open .xlsm files unless he installs the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint File Formats.
It might be easier for him if you saved your workbook as an Excel 97-2003 workbook (.xls).
Best wishes,
Hans
