MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / January 2007Excel 2007 - unhelpful messages
Can anyone please help. We have installed Office 2007 on some of our machines for evaluation, but wish to continue using compatabilty mode (i.e. Office 2003) as documents are regularly sent outside of the organisation for editing and return. These are typically encrypted / password protected. Whenever I save any changes to one of these in Excel 2007 I get "This document is both encrypted and password protected. The Office Open XML formats available in the 2007 release provide stronger encryption. Do you want to increase the security og this document by converting to an Office Open XML format?" To which the answer is NO, not until I know that any recipients are also using XML formats. How can I stop this message from appearing every time I save a protected document?

This is a guess since I don't have Excel 2007, but you may need to use macros bound to the [Ctrl]+S key to save the active workbook, but that disables messages before the save and reenables them afterwards. Otherwise, I suspect there's as little way to eliminate your warning message when saving as there is to disable the warning message about losing some features when saving single worksheet files with no formatting or formulas as CSV files. That is certainly one solution. I was hoping that MS would have built in a friendlier way or resolving this, especially as by introducing the new formats, it is going to be many years before everyone has moved from xls, etc to XML type documents. >Martin Smulian <mar...@msmulian.demon.co.uk> wrote... >...

You're assuming Microsoft's definition of 'friendly' doesn't encompass endlessly restating the obvious via warning dialogs. Alternatively, you're failing to understand that Microsoft places greater importance on idiot-proofing than expert's ease-of-use. The implicit assumption that most of its users are idiots permeates all Microsoft software.
