The post hadn't wandered off. I was just unwilling to reply because of
my unfamiliarity with the Mac family of MS Office products. Windows, on
the other hand, ...
Two questions:
1) Have you tried using one of the non-speadsheet import/export formats
such as comma-separated valuse (*.csv) or tab-seperated values (*.txt)?
This would let the Mac version of Excel create the spreadsheet in native
format, rather than trying to translate an existing format.
2) Have you tried importing a version without the graphic? This would
eliminate the need for Mac Excel to convert non-spreadsheet data.
Just my two cents worth.
