Hi Don,
You didn't say what version of the Office suite you are using.
Is it the same on all 3 systems?
If it is a newer version on your Windows 10 system, you may need to install 
the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack
in order for it to open older documents.
This is only a guess on my part since I am not right up to speed on 
Microsoft Office.

HTH,
Rick Justice

Tomorrow's another day, another way!
and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Trying to open an xlsx file in Windows 10 and JAWS 17


Hi list,

I received a 15 KB xlsx document as an attachment and I saved it.
Then, I tried to open it on my Windows 10 computer. JAWS kept reporting,
"Opening Excel," but the document never did come in. I pressed alt Tab and
got the following message:

"Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not
enough available memory or disk space.
. To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer
need.
. To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are
saving to." (end of quote)

By the way, I have plenty of available memory and plenty of available disk
space.

I can launch Excel and create a new xlsx document, then I can save
it, close it and open it again, but I tried opening some older Excel files
and they won't open either.

Finally, I tried opening the file on a Windows 7 machine and on a
Windows 8.1 machine and it opened with no problems on both computers.

Can anyone help?

Don
