Is anyone else starting to see this happen?
I’m finding it more and more common as people update their PC’s and laptops, they get the new edition of Office (2007), and just don’t realise that the file formats have changed and their files can’t be seen by others user. That, and when you do point it out to people, it’s real easy to forget to save files to an older format. Is there a default file type setting in Office 2007? How are people dealing with this problem? I can only see it getting worst over the next few years, as 2007(+) becomes more widely used.
Update: Here is the link to the file converter pack.

Well my copy arrived this morning, and what a beauty it is! I’ve obviously only had a cursory glance (stupidly busy with work – UAT any one?) but I have to say that it’s really impressive.
There’s loads of updated content from the first edition and it’s an extra 200 pages long. There’s an interesting chapter about interfaces that looks really good, the .Net stuff looks excellent and there’s lots of Excel 2007 info in there, including a chapter about cross version applications. Not to mention all the samples and code on the CD!
If you develop in Excel, do yourself a favour and get a copy, go on, you deserve it! Looking on Amazon, the second edition appears to be cheaper than the first edition, which is fun! You could always try an win a copy over at Dicks!
Oh, and dont forget the PED support forum!
