Microsoft Excel 97 2004 Download Free

In my company I have made macro enabled excel documents (Past 10-15 years). I just recently updated my computers to the new Windows 8.1.

Microsoft

When I open the document it asks if I want to ' enable macros,' which I am used to doing. When I make changesto the document and then I select the 'save as'option. Finally when I select to save as on my Excel Workbook (new format), instead of the old Excel 97-2003 (old format), I am prompted with this message/error:The following features cannot be saved in macro-free workbooks:-VB projectsTo save a file with these features, click No, and then choose a macro-enabled file type in the File Type list.To continue saving as a macro-free workbook, click Yes.I do not want to save my files as.xlsm, I would like to continue saving them as.xlsx files like I always have. What do I do?

With the new Windows 8.1 can I only save macro enabled docs in the.xlsm format? Clearly I am a little new this newer softwarebecause it has been so long since I have needed to update my windows software.

Now that I have updated it though I need help with either saving, converting, or I guess updating my excel documents. Re: Saving workbooksIn Excel 2003, workbooks used a 3 digit file extension.You could save workbooks as Somename.xls for workbooks with or without macros.Starting with Excel 2007 (and xl2010 / xl2013), you are required to to use 4 digit file extensions.Workbooks with macros must use Somename.xls mWorkbooks without macros can use either Somename.xls x or Somename.xlsm You can continue to use the.xls extension (xl2003), but the workbooks will not contain any features or handicaps of the newer XL versions.No matter what avenue you take, the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack is recommended.'

In Excel 2007 and above, files with macros have a different file extension.Files without vba have the xlsx extension.Files with macros need to be saved as a macro-enabled workbook with the xlsm extension.For both file types there are also template variations, i.e. Re: Saving workbooksIn Excel 2003, workbooks used a 3 digit file extension.You could save workbooks as Somename.xls for workbooks with or without macros.Starting with Excel 2007 (and xl2010 / xl2013), you are required to to use 4 digit file extensions.Workbooks with macros must use Somename.xls mWorkbooks without macros can use either Somename.xls x or Somename.xlsm You can continue to use the.xls extension (xl2003), but the workbooks will not contain any features or handicaps of the newer XL versions.No matter what avenue you take, the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack is recommended.'
