Please excuse my lack of competence with computers, but I have a problem. I am using Windows 7 and IE9. Last year I held an Excel 2003 spreadsheet on Skydrive and was able to open it from Skydrive. I recently changed the spreadsheet. The homepage in Skydrive says that I have 7Gb available to use. I deleted the original spreadsheet from Skydrive and successfully uploaded the new spreadsheet ( 77.1 Mb ). When I try to open the Excel file from Skydrive I get the following succession of error messages:
1. We are converting your file……
2. Editing error.Sorry,Skydrive is unable to prepare that file for editing right now. Try again later.
3. If I click Cancel The words Excel Web App flash on the screen then I get the message Couldn't open the workbook in Excel Web App because it exceeds 5Mb… You'll need to open in Excel.
4. If I click Open in Excel, I get ' could not open ( then file name ) '.
I have tried to put the screen shots into the panel below, without success. Is it possible to open Excel 2003 files in Skydrive and, if so, what have I done wrong ? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
