This has to do with a conversion from 2007 to 2003. Apparently
worksheets are lost in the 2003 converted spreadsheet and numbers are
padded in certain cells with no rhyme or reason. I tried this
conversion a few times and strangely, the same thing happened each
time. Is there a fix for this in a Service Pack? Anyone else find the
same problem happening?

No, I've not seen this phenomenon. Are you just saving as a 97/2003 file
(xls)?

I have experienced no problems saving files in 2003 format.

I have the converter installed and am having no problems going back and
forth in 2003 or 2007 with either .xls format.

Were you able to get this resolved? I'm finding the same issue all of a
sudden.
