Hi Laura

Seems like your default Excel handler is changed to Acrobat. You can change the default Excel handler by following steps:

1. right-click on any Excel file.
2. Go to Properties.
3. Click on “Change…” button against "Opens With: " and select Excel from the list of apps. If you don’t see it, click on More Apps or navigate to your Excel install location where you can find excel.exe
4. Once done, click on Apply > OK.

It should work fine now.

Thanks
Tanvi

    I do have Office Pro loaded on my PC. When I try to export grid data or from a standard excel sheet it tries to make it a PDF. At the time I upgraded to the Adobe Pro it changed all my Excel documents to PDF's. Is there a way to them back into the right format?

    Thanks for your help,

    Laura Jackson
