Excel spreadsheet font changed to Greek

I opened an Excel spreadsheet a PC user had sent me. The font was changed to Greek automatically when the spreadsheet opened in Numbers. I would like to be able to read the spreadsheet as created. Are there setting somewhere about automatic translations? Can I modify them?

There are no settings regarding how the excel file is translated.  Have you tried opening the file using another program like LibreOffice?  It is free.  a quick search using your favorite search engine will help you locate the installer.
Can you post a screenshot?
Have you made sure you have all updates (using the menu item " > Software Update..")?

  • Convert Word Doc to PDF - font in Excel object is changed

    Hi,
    I have tried to convert a word document to PDF. The document
    has an Excel object embedded. In the PDF file created by
    acrobat.com, the font in Excel object was changed (no longer Times
    News Roman).
    Can someone please contact me and give it a try?
    My email: [email protected]
    Cheers

    Do you know which font it was substituted for? If the entire
    font is not required, the PDF Conversion process will create a
    subset font, and will then change the name of the font (since it is
    not technically the full original font). However the glyphs used in
    the subset font should be identical.

  • Font changes automatically in Lotus Notes & Excel Find/Replace pops up

    I am using Win XP SP3 and FF 14.0.1
    I recently (last couple of weeks) noticed that, when FF 14.0.1 is running, the font size, color, bold and bullet will change automatically in Lotus Notes. Sometimes the font changes from normal horizontal to all vertical. And these changes can reverse while I watch or continue trying to type.
    Also, in Excel 2007, the Find & Replace box will automatically pop up and keep popping up after I close it.
    My IT support suspected Malware on my laptop and loaded & ran Malwarebytes on my laptop and it found two items which I removed. But the problem was still there. Next we reinstalled Office 2007 and Lotus Notes 8.5.1 --- still did not solve the problem.
    I began my FF troubleshooting by disabling add-ons one-by-one in the reverse order of addition (newest added was disabled first) until I got to the point before which I previously did not have this problem. But this did not find an offending add-on. (I still have these add-ons disabled.)
    Next, I went brute force and restarted FF with '''ALL''' add-ons disabled (using the Help option to do so). This did '''NOT''' fix the problem.
    Then I happened to find out that the problem went away -- completely -- if FF was NOT running. I have checked / verified this several times --- somehow FF 14.0.1 certainly appears to be the cause. As I recall I only experienced these issues AFTER I updated to FF 14.0.1
    I hope a solution can be found -- otherwise I will no longer be able to use FF at work.

    Would be great if files could be attached when questions are being created. I exceeded the max allowed characters when I tried to paste my FF troubleshooting info. So, I had to delete many lines. I saved the info in a file, but no way to attach it before the question is posted.

  • When I convert my excel spreadsheet to pdf objects like graphs move down in the page!

    Hi everyone I am very new to this! Please help!
    I was working with someone who has been migrated to Office 2007.  If we create an Excel Spreadsheet and convert it to Pdf all is well. When we do the same with his old files the graphs move to the bottom of the pdf page and any text boxes will change font and the graphs will over run the text. We saved the files as .Xlsm and tried again but to no avail.
    Can some one please help?

    You posted your question to the forum comments forum. This forum is for questions about these forums, not for questions about other Adobe products.
    I am not sure which product you are having a problem with (Acrobat to convert to PDF? Reader to read the PDF? Or the builtin PDF capability of MS Office?), but if it is an Adobe product you can find the appropriate forum from the list of all forums.

  • Placing Excel Spreadsheet resizing

    We are using INDCS3 and have created an Excel spreadsheet exactly to size (inches). We created a new IND document (preference set to inches) and when we do a PLACE it places the file, but shrinks it down to the columns are smaller and the fonts are too big. How can we get this to place correctly.

    Create a PDF and place that. InDesign will turn that Excel sheet into a
    native object and sizes etc will change to adapt to the document.

  • Excel XML map problem with Greek characters.

    Hi,
    I created a dashboard with XML map connetion. My embeded spreadsheet is linked to an xml file which contains my TOP 50 Customers.
    Customers names are in Greek so my xml Header is like:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-7"?>
    ISO-8859-7 is the Greek encoding for xml.
    After embeding the spreadsheet into the dashboard i add a list component to present my TOP 50 Customers.
    So far so good.
    Then i add a refresh conection button to update my TOP 50 list. In preview mode everythinng works fine. But when i try to update my data by clicking the refresh button my list is updated but the customers names is turned to unidentified characters.
    Is there any encoding problem or this is Xcelsius issue?
    I use Xcelsius 2008 sp3 fp 3.2

    You are right.
    I opened the XML file with notepad and saved it with utf-8 encode, also changed the xml tag to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> and it worked fine.
    I map it in Excel Spreadsheet without problems and after refreshing in Xcelsius the characters are diplayed normaly.
    So, correct me if i am wrong, the problem is the file encoding, no the xml encoding.
    Both, file and xml encoding should be UTF-8.
    As i mentioned before my xml files are Crystal Report 2008 reports which are exported as text files with .xml extension, so i have to look for answers in other forum.
    thank you

  • Excel spreadsheets with macro's

    Good day
    Excel spreadsheets with macro's created in Windows does not work on my Macbook (excel for mac 2011), even if I enable macro's. I do not create these spreadsheets myself. Cn anyone assist please? Thank you for your time.

    Hi,
    As far as I known, the macro/Active X control can be used well with both of the Office 2013 and Office 365.
    Would you like to share us a sample file that created in Office 2013? I'd like to test it. You can send it via Email ([email protected]).
    If you have any update, please feel free let us know.
    ===========
    Update:
    I have received your mail and
    attachment. Then, I tested it, I found the probably reason.
    You were using ActiveX controls in the sample file, and them displayed 4 tabs in Format control dialog box. Next, you created a new Form control, it displayed 7 tabs.
    You were using the two type of controls. ActiveX controls and Form controls
    are different.
    Form controls
    Form controls are the original controls that are compatible with earlier versions of Excel, starting with Excel version 5.0. Form controls are also designed for use on XLM macro sheets.
    ActiveX controls
    ActiveX controls can be used on worksheet forms, with or without the use of VBA code, and on VBA UserForms. In general, use ActiveX controls when you need more flexible design requirements than those provided by Form controls. ActiveX controls have extensive
    properties that you can use to customize their appearance, behavior, fonts, and other characteristics.

  • Help with exporting an excel spreadsheet to sharepoint

    I've downloaded the 'Synchronising with sharepoint lists' add-in and have linked my spreadsheet to a sharepoint list, where any changes made to the spreadsheet then updates the sharepoint list. This spreadsheet is full of formulas but as soon as I click
    'synchronise with sharepoint' all of the formulas in my spreadsheet vanish. There are also no formulas in the sharepoint list but I'm not really bothered about having working formulas in my sharepoint list because I will be updating that list through my formula
    filled and rather complicated spreadsheet.
    So is there a way that I can synchronise my spreadsheet to sharepoint and keep my formulas in my excel spreadsheet? 

    Hi Sarah,
    It is difficult to answer your question without any knowledge of the calculations in your Excel spreadsheets. Not all calculations that work on your desktop excel application will work on SharePoint Excel services which is why some of your formulas are getting
    extracted.
    For more information about Excel Services in SharePoint you can refer to

  • How do I generate a data merge in InDesign from an excel spreadsheet which includes a barcode

    Can you please advise if the following process is possible within InDesign CS 5.5? (Mac OS 10.8.2).
    We need to create a data merge that includes a barcode. The data merge is for several thousand records.
    We have a customer-supplied Excel spreadsheet that contains seven fields, one of which is a number that ultimately needs to print as a barcode when we make the data merge in InDesign.
    As you would expect, the conventional six fields data merge perfectly - but we can't find a way to make the barcode print correctly within the data merge.
    We have investigated several possible solutions without success.
    Some solutions suggest a plug-in for Excel to convert the number into a barcode whilst still in the spreadsheet - but this doesn't come across correctly when we import the CSV file into the InDesign data merge.
    We have investigated certain third party software applications but none provide the full solution we require. Some, for example, appear to create the barcode within the Excel spreadsheet but don't produce the barcode correctly when we data merge in InDesign; and some will allow us to create a one-off barcode within InDesign but have no automated way of retrieving the thousands of Excel numbers and turning them into barcodes.
    We have also come across possible 'font' solutions but have had no success with these either.
    For a previous job we needed to produce we outsourced to a specialist mailing company, who assured us they produced the whole job (very quickly) within InDesign. They, understandably, won't tell us how they did it. But, given the speed with which they produced the job for us, we imagine - with the correct software - the whole process is easy to do.
    Can you please advise?

    HI MIKE
    Thanks again for your reply and your help with this.
    I've downloaded the barcode font from the link you supplied.
    I've tried three tests - and seem much closer to getting what we need. But I've come up against a couple of issues.
    TEST 1 - almost just to see if the downloaded font worked, I simply data merged our source csv file and applied the downloaded barcode font to the serial number in ID. Probably unsurprisingly, this produced a perfectly printed barcode - that wouldn't scan.
    TEST 2 - I manually added asterisks before and after the serial number in the first couple of fields and then tried the same process as TEST 1. It produced a perfectly printed barcode which this time DID scan correctly - but obviously the barcode had asterisks on it which I don't want. I just want the serial number. And with thousands of serial numbers we need the addition of the asterisks to happen automatically (which is where your text editor process seems the perfect solution, if we could get that to work).
    TEST 3 - Noting your comments about using parenthesis around the serial number, I followed your example of (123456). But Excel won't let me type a parenthesis. It lets me type the parenthesis but then instantly substitutes it with a - (hyphen) before the number in the actual serial number cell and no character at all after the number.
    If you have any suggestions or solutions for any of the above they'd be gratefully received! Thanks again for all your help with this.
    Kind regards
    Rob

  • How to open Excel spreadsheet in Numbers.

    Hey Kids:
    I have trouble opening imported Excel spreadsheets in Numbers on my iMac.  I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  Previously I tried a demo of Office Mac that has expired.  When I try to open an Excel spreadsheet I get a message to buy Office Mac.  I've tried to put the demo application in the trash but I still can't open the Excel spreaddsheet and get a message that Excel is in the trash and can't open the spreadsheet. 
    HELP!

    In addition to what Niel said...
    In the Finder, click on an Excel file (.xls) to select it, press command-I to Get Info.
    In the Info window, expand the Open with...section.
    Click the pop-up menu bar in that section and choose Numbers '09.
    Click the Change All button below the menu.
    Repeat with a current version (.xlsx) file.
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: Unless you have something vital that you're storing in the Trash, you might also want to Empty the Trash to get rid of the Excel trial that's expired.
