Problem with my Microsoft excel and Google Document

Hi Bettyjfrance,

I think you cant open your Google Spreadsheets file because the file is corrupt or it's not downloaded properly.

You must download the Google Spreadsheets file again.

To do that follow these instruction below :

1. Clear your Internet browser's cache, Click "Tools" in browser menu then select "Clear Recent History" or CTRL+SHIFT+DEL then select all option and click "Clear Now".

2. Sign to your Google Docs account, then choose Google Spreadsheets file you want to download to Excel.

3. Go to Google Spreadsheets "File" menu, and select "Download as." choose "Excel" in option. Then the file will be downloaded to your computer.

4. Open the Download folder and double click Google Spreadsheets file you've just downloaded.

The second way if the above methods still fail to open the Google Spreadsheets file in excel

Copy the Google Spreadsheets file, to do that :

1. Go to Google Spreadsheets "File" menu, and select "Make a copy", you will be asked to enter a name for the new copy  document. Enter a file name, and then click on "OK", a new tab will be open in your browser with Google Spreadsheets file copy identical to the original.

2.Go to Google Spreadsheets "File" menu, and select "Download as." choose "Excel" in option. Then the file will be downloaded to your computer.

3. Open the Download folder and double click Google Spreadsheets file you've just downloaded.

The third way if both of ways above the downloaded file does not open in Microsoft Excel

Send yourself the Google Spreadsheet file to your email and download via your email address :

1. Click on the "Google Docs" logo to return to the main Google Docs page.

2. Select your spreadsheet file, click on the check box to the left of the spreadsheet's file name. then, click on the "Share" button above the file list,

3. From the drop-down menu, select "Email as attachment." The "Email as Attachment" window will pop up

4. Under "Attach item as," select "Microsoft Excel" In the "To:" box, enter your email address. Then click on "Send."

5. Check your email inbox one or two minutes later, the Excel version of your spreadsheet should be attached to a new email on your mailbox.
