- MSPRESS Microsoft Office 97 Resource Kit

This article was previously published under Q161739 SYMPTOMS
If you unbind a Microsoft Office Binder 97 file using the Macintosh version
of Unbind.exe included in the Office Resource Kit 97, you may be unable to
open the individual sections in Microsoft Office programs for the
Macintosh.
CAUSE
The file formats of the sections in the binder are not compatible with the
Microsoft Office for the Macintosh programs.
RESOLUTION
To use the sections contained in an Office Binder 97 file on the Macintosh,
do the following:
- On a computer running either Windows 95 or Windows NT (version 3.51 or
4.0), unbind the binder using the Windows version of Unbind.exe included
with the Office Resource Kit 97.
- Open each section in its respective Office 97 program.
- Save the sections in an earlier version file format; for example, save
a Microsoft Excel section in the Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 file format and
save a Word section in the Word 6.0/95 file format.
- Copy these converted files to your Macintosh.
You should be able to open the converted files in their respective
Microsoft Office for the Macintosh programs.
Note The Microsoft Office 97 programs include features that are not
available in earlier versions of the programs. When you save a file in an
earlier version format, you may lose some of these features.
