1)Permissions: The file is mine, permissions seem to be OK (I'm the owner/ only user, registered as Administrator). No password protection, so passwords not an issue. File not locked.
2)Warning/dialogue boxes: I get the warning concerning macros, offering to enable or disable them. Whichever I choose (enable or disable) seems to make no difference. Dialogue box disappears once checked and nothing happens.
3)Opening on a PC: I have tried opening the file on a PC as suggested, but this doesn't work either ( I tried on two PCs)
4) File size: 290Kb (small but unfortunately containing important data).
Despite lack of success, I'm still hoping, and I'm still all ears to any advice.
TIA
Alain.
PS: I've searched the MS Office Mac support site and knowledge base, to no avail

I admit up-front- this isn't the kind of advice I normally give.
Try opening the file on a PC with MS Office. I had this happen for someone
with an iMac DV, OS 9.1, Office 2001. I tried on a couple of different macs
and didn't get anywhere. When I tried on my PC, it showed the "Conversion
in progress" message and then opened. Several formatted text cells were
lost, but most of the data was there.
This reminded me - wasn't there a thread about problems with
cross-platform Word docs? Something involving Office for WinXP? Forget the
details, but that might be the problem.
Was this your own file or someone else's?
Good Luck.
