XL98: Revision Number and Total Edit Time Boxes Are Blank (182325)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition

This article was previously published under Q182325

SYMPTOMS

On the Statistics tab of the Properties dialog box (click Properties on the File menu), the Revision Number and Total Edit Time boxes are blank.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because Microsoft Excel 98 does not use either of these statistics.

MORE INFORMATION

The Properties dialog box is shared by Microsoft Office 98 programs. Microsoft Word 98 and Microsoft PowerPoint 98 use the Revision Number and Total Edit Time boxes; however, Microsoft Excel does not use either of these boxes.

The Revision Number tracks the number of times that the file has been saved. The Total Editing Time tracks the number of minutes that the file has been opened for making changes since it was created.
