Just pirate an older version like everyone else, or use google sheets or libre office, which are pretty cross compatible unless you're a real spreadsheet power user /wizard.
**** tory bastards.
No, it’s the 21st century.
haha, yip! 😆
One of my client has just sent me an Excel spreadsheet, saved as a Macro enabled worksheet. Never seen this before.
Wasted 2 hours Friday afternoon trying to open and used the bl..dy thing.
Office pc....no
laptop....no
Google sheets....no.
Tried to download any fixes/latest updates to Office 10 from Microsoft, would not recognise the product key, went onto live chat with Microsoft and all in all they sent me 3 links that did not recognise the product key either. So looks like they are out of ideas as well.
What now?
Client says 'it runs on our pc's'.
Like ZippyKona said, not everybody is excited about computers, for me its a tool, and the programme should be as simple as possible. Looks like there are multiple layers of carp that I don't need, but some geek in an office somewhere has made it so complicated.
Anybody here go any clues please.
I'm sure you've checked that you can run macros on your copy of Excel. There's a security setting somewhere.(Which is off by default).
Anybody here go any clues please.
Maybe start your own thread for this?

What happens when you try? Symptoms?
Office 10 from Microsoft
There's no such thing as "Office 10." (Well, technically there is, it's the internal versioning number for Office XP. If you're running a 17 year old version of Office, that's why it doesn't work. Ask them to save it as an "Excel 97-2003 workbook" and resend it.)
would not recognise the product key
Why do you need a product key to install an update?
Go start a new thread, answer these questions and describe exactly what you're doing and what software you're using (help / about usually).
