I need help with an excel file. I have been working and saving information to a spreadsheet on my ibook now for at least 6 months.
I was using the application when my son came in and wanted me to let him play a game. I started the game from my hard drive and it froze up, so I did a soft restart on the machine and when it came back to life my excel data was still on the desktop. However, when I tried to open it I got a message that said it was in an unrecognizable format, but that I could still open it and when I did all I got was a bunch of jumbled letters and symbols. The file says it is 52 Kb in size, so it looks like the data is still there, but I cannot retrieve it properly. Any ideas?
