File gets hanged up while opening in excel 2007

[zyzzyva57]

I know nothing about Linux, but I would start with the premise that M$ does not like Linux

Once a file is put into a M$ environment, then things work fine

I would, therefore, "Google" for Linux solutions before I went to M$

I long ago learned going outside of M$ Operating System can create extra problems

I would make the same observation if I used Apple products; to wit, I would be leery of non-Apple products with a Windows basis--for example, Office for Apple would be fine, because this Office version would be written for an Apple OS

Mixing OS's is one road I care not to travel down
