Losing formatting when Share/Un-share Excel 2013

Hello all
We're using Excel 2013 on Windows 8 32 bit.
We are having major concerns with the formatting of these files. It’s sort of hard to explain but we get it all set the way we want it and then if we share or un-share it we lose all our formatting.

Hi,
Did this issue occurred with a particular file? Which type of formatting did lost? Generally speaking, If we are saving it in the older Excel 97-2003 format, then it is possible that the losses you are seeing are due to the formatting not being supported
in the older format. This is particularly true with colors and conditional formatting. Please try to save it as Excel 2013 format.
If this issue still exists, do you mind sending us a sample file? Email:
[email protected]? So I can test it from my side. Please use thread link or the subject of this post as mail subject.
Regards,
George Zhao

  • Why IPHOTO album will not keep the template format when share to IDVD.

    Why IPHOTO album will not keep the template format when share to IDVD. Also, could be better if IPHOTO Album could access "inspector tool" with ability to change the slide duration time and apply a random "Transitions" to specific slide.

    Are you sharing an album of photos or a slideshow to iDVD?  If it's an album then what you get in iDVD is just a slideshow with the photos in it where you have to set the transition and slide timing unless you add music and select fit to audio.
    Don't know what you mean by the template format unless you're referring to the themes in a slideshow? If you share a slideshow the ss is converted to a Quicktime movie file and that is added to the iDVD menu window.  No changes are possible.

  • Page size error when creating PDF from Excel 2013

    Hello,
    I am using Acrobat Pro XI, and am creating a PDF from Excel 2013.  I have updated Acrobat to the latest version (11.0.4).  I am using the Acrobat CreatePDF add-in inside Excel to convert a spreadsheet to PDF.  However, when I create the PDF, the page size doubles from 8.5" x 11" to 17" x 22".  I have checked the print settings inside Excel to insure that the content fits onto an 8.5" x 11" page.  I also checked the Preferences->Advanced Preferences of the Create PDF add-in and confirmed that the default page size is set to 8.5" x 11".  Does anyone know why it is creating the PDF with a 17" x 22" page size?  Also, can the page be resized back down to 8.5" x 11" within Acrobat Pro XI? 

    Hello - this did not happen when I printed the file to the Adobe PDF printer.  It correctly sized the sheet as 8.5" x 11".  Thanks for the suggestion.  Also, it will properly print out to the physical printer. 
    The main problem is when I am combining several PDFs into one document, I have some sheets sized at 8.5" x 11" and some at 17" x 22", so the document looks strange when viewing it online.  I am still not sure why the Create PDF add-in creates a different sized PDF than the Print to PDF function. 

  • When opening files in excel 2013, it is showing contacting.... makes it very slow

    When I open a file in excel 2013 , it is shown that the file is contacting so many files (ONE EXAMPLE IS ATTACHED HEREWITH) that it takes nearly 2-3 minutes to open.But the same file is opened in Excel 2010 immediately.
    However this file doesn't have any links or references or formulae and the files which are being contacted, I think, have nothing to do with this file.
    How to solve this problem? We have around 1000 PCs of Windows 7 in our organization and this makes the users very annoying. Please help me...

    For the questions you raised the answers are,
    1. No, the excel files which excel 2013 is contacting are not in the same folder.
    2 . both, local workbook and received through mail.
    3. before I tell the outcome of your suggestion, I have attached the few lines which I got fromone of the users.
    The following are the problem experienced in Newly Installed Office 2013 Excel Software
    While opening file containing links to external link, relatively longer time (approx. 2-3 min) is taken for opening the file.
    Even if the links to external sources are
    delinked, all the references are being contacted while opening the file. This is also taking the same time like the old file.
    When more than two excel files are opened, only last file is available in the tab. Rest of the files are hidden in the minimized tab.
    As per the user, he has linked some files to this excel file(problematic file). But even after the links are removed and the problematic file is opened it is still contacting the old linked files.
    Please suggest something.

  • Error in totals format when I export to excel

    Hi.
    I export a table report with totals to excel, when I open this file, the format of totals fields is text, not number.

    Hi
    You probably had some wording in the total line such as SUM or TOTAL. When this is exported, Excel is unable to format that column as a number. Try removing all labels from the totals and see if this helps.
    I hope this helps
    Best wishes

  • Can you change the format when converting pdf to excel?

    example.  I'm trying to export a PDF file to excel.  However, the PDF file isn't in a table/spreadsheet format so when it exports to excel, I can't sort at all.  It doesn't convert into any sortable columns.  Is there a way to change the format on the convert?  Or is that an edit in excel?

    Hi, jsking.
    I'm sorry for the issues you're having. Without seeing your file, it will be difficult to diagnosis your issue. Can you send us a copy of your PDF file via this form and we can take a look? In the form, include a link to this forum conversation, so we have this additional context.
    You may be able to do some post-editing in Excel to copy the data into sortable columns. OR, you may want to try first exporting the PDF to Word and then copying/pasting the data from Word into Excel - it's possible that may give you a better result.
    But with a little more information, we may be able to help you more.

  • Number is converted to other format when download it to Excel

    Hi All,
    When I use method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download to download an excel tab delimited file, the asset number 220200000003 is converted to 2.202E+11 when open it in Excel. How to prevent this conversion?
    Cheers,
    Catherine

    Hai,
    Send the number with a  apostrophe / single quote   ( ' )   in the starting of the number.
    Excel treats 12345 as number
    and treats   '12345 as text and the ' also will not be shown in the excel.
    By this you can send number number starting with zero as '000022050001

  • Losing formatting when interfacing ...

    I have an iMac, G4, and I am trying to interface with a novel critique group that uses VBulletin. Problem is that while everybody using Windows PC's can simply copy/paste from Word, WordPad, Lotus, WordPerfect, and even email, keeping the colors and formatting, when I post, no matter what I try, I get just black text on white.
    I need the colors and text differences. Anyone know how I can get it to work?
    Thanks,
    Stephanie

    What software are you using on your iMac?Using Microsoft Word for Mac you should have no problems at all with sharing your files with other Word users.
    I've never tried it but I understand NeoOffice does a similar job for free.
    iWorks is also Microsoft Word/Powerpoint compatible available from the Apple Store.

  • Issue in cell format when exporting data to excel

    Hello there,
    I have an ABAP program that selects data from tables into an internal table and writes the data in CSV (excel) file.
    I have a very weird issue when writing the file: The data is written properly, though the dates in my data, which is written in yyyymmdd format, has different cell format in the csv file itself. I'll expain:
    Let's say I've written into CSV file a table with name and birthdate, and I have 2000 records. From record 1 to 1475, when I right-click on the date cells in those lines, and choose "cell format", I can see it's in "general" format. From line 1476 on, when I do that I see that the date cells are in format of "custom" with pattern 'yyyymmdd'.
    I want all the cells to be "general". How do I do that?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Daniel,
    Try using these Function Module......................
    Before filling final internal table write those condition.................................
    Data:  gv_date   TYPE mch1-vfdat,
             gv_vdate(10) TYPE c.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'
           EXPORTING
             date_internal            = gv_date

             OTHERS                   = 2.
         IF sy-subrc <> 0.

  • Losing formatting when importing rtf file

    Hello and please help!
    Having just laid out 2 volumes of a 3 volume set via cutting & pasting and manually re-introducing formatting, I have been told in no uncertain terms (not by an expert, I add) that I can preserve everything by using rtf. I've tried this before & it failed. The original document is a Word file, which has been imported into Pages by my Mac. When I save it as an rtf and then place it, all formatting and font choices are removed, leaving me with dense text in Time Roman, when the rtf is in Ehrhardt.  Given that ongoing changes are being made to various editorial decisions, line spaces etc, the document has to be reformatted anyway, but if there is a way to import the volume 3 in such a way, I'd be really happy to know about it. Following the Adobe instructions has got me nowhere (could well be me though!). I've checked the import options and went for the preserve text.
    I'm using InDesign CC, working off a Mac.
    Thanks!

    If I open the rtf in TextEdit, all the formatting is there.
    This is an example of the panel I see (hardly legible, but hopefully it looks vaguely familiar). I'm wondering if there is a campatibility issue, but I am getting all sorts of grief from this individual who knows nothing about typesetting but has been told something by someone else, although it all relates to Word!

  • Losing formatting when opening existing Pages '09 document

    Trying to find answer as to why my Pages document shows correctly when viewing preview (spacebar) but when open document in application Pages it loses some of its formatting especially picture size/position throwing all rest of pages out. It doesn't occur throughout only final half.  Can anyone assist with a solution? Many thanks.

    When you ask Preview to display the doc's contents, it doesn't decipher the real doc, it show the embedded preview.pdf file.
    It seems that the preview.pdf is OK but the index.xml file describing the document is corrupted.
    May you send the doc to my mailbox so that I may have a look on it ?

  • Incorrect page size when creating PDF from Excel 2013 (export and print)

    I am in the USA so everything tends to default to 8½"x11" ... but I created a document in Excel with A size settings. I have attempted to export it to PDF with every setting I can find set to A4 and I have attempted to print the document to PDF again with every setting I can find set to A4 (page size, layout - advanced - paper/output - paper size - A4) with all scaling turned off and yet when I open the finished document in Acrobat XI Pro (with all updates installed) the document properties lists it as 8½"x11". I don't see any resize document settings in Acrobat or any other reason it would be anything but A4 in Acrobat's settings, and I've even had someone in our design department that uses Acrobat extensively look at my steps and they don't see where I'm making any mistakes.
    Does anyone here have any suggestions?

    Notice in the illustration the button Page setup.
    Click on that and see if you can set printer from there.
    I don't know whether this is in the PC version.
    This is an adobe dumb idea inserting a Print menu in between a print menu and the printer, and not allowing the Printer to do the control Setup itself.
    One of them ideas that came up when a developer was sitting around twidling his thumbs, and saying hey lets do this.  Another idea That comes along with this, is the inserted property feature called simplex printing. If you want to print a PDF duplex you can setin printer till cows come home and you blue in the face. Won't print Duplex.  You have to Click Propties and Locate the command simplex, and turn off.

  • How Do I Avoid Losing Formatting When Pages documents Are Converted to PDF Files and Emailed?

    I put together a presentation piece with Pages, converted its 19 pages to pdf files, emailed the folder of pdf files to Staples for duplication, collation, and binding, and was disappointed to see some of my graphic frame formatting lost. 
    Can anyone please tell me how to avoid the loss in the future?  'Sure would appreciate it. 
    I was "raised" on Microsoft Publisher, then worked with Adobe Elements before switching to Mac.  For the most-part, I find Mac OSX 10.7.5 a joy to use, but it takes me quite a while to figure out how to bridge differences between PC and Mac applications.   Even though Mac applications tend to be straight forward, I loften find myself shaking my head and wondering how I could have been stumped so long by a little thing such as instant alpha.  I don't want to chalk up this difficulty in adapting  to old age, but could! (--Which translates:  Please be easy on the old lady!)  Thanking you in advance for such assistance as you might provide ...

    Upgrade to Mountain Lion OSX 10.8, much better than Lion.
    I take it you are talking about Pages '09?
    Your problem is probably with anything that has transparency eg fancy frames, 3D charts, shadows, reflections because Pages exports all these to too low 72dpi resolution in .pdfs.
    Prepping files for commercial print is always a concern and you need at least some Pro skills, but Apple has made life even harder with key missing settings and inferior presets.
    The subject of preparing for print is rather broad and detailed.

    In regarding of the issue, it might be caused by some reasons:
    Firstly, the Outlook and Excel add-ins might cause this issue, please try to disable them to test first. Similar issue:

  • Losing type formatting when adjusting tabs.

    I am losing formatting when I adjust tabs in CS6, specifically today I am losing space after paragraph setting but I have lost other formatting I think at other times. I think this only began in CS6, I cannot find a relevant post, thanks in advance for any help.

    AI CS6 (16.0.5), I am using a Mac Pro, OS X 10.8.5.
    I am attaching a screen shot, somewhat redacted. I have 147 pts space added to the paragraph at bottom of Bonus Payments section, the line beginning "$100,000 and above." If I adjust the tab of just just one line in that paragraph, I keep the space after the paragraph. If I adjust the tabs of the whole paragraph, my space after paragraph reverts to 0. This happens to me all the time, I think it is unique to CS 6 as well as I can remember.
    Let me know if you need more info, thanks.
