MS Excel Problem (2003 Educators & Students Version)

Jul 12, 2004 6:25AM PDT

I created a spreadsheet that I wanted to email. So, I clicked on "File", "Send To", "Mail Recepient" and then I saved it. It froze the address line of the mail recepient and now I can't get it to go away and only show me the spreadsheet. I should have sent it as an "Attachment", but I didn't.

Any idea how I can make it revert to just the spreadsheet only?

I read the post twice and can't grasp the issue. I can't tell if some email program needs work or the Excel sheet.

Hope you clarify the issue.

I'll try to clarify:

An Excel Spreadsheet was emailed to me for edit. I saved it under a new name to my desktop. From the FILE dropdown, I selected SEND TO, MAIL RECEPIENT. Thus, an email address line appeared at the top of the spreadsheet (To:, From:, Subj:, etc.). So, I addressed it and sent it. Then I saved it. However, its appearance now has the email address line as part of the spreadsheet. I should have sent/saved as an ATTACHMENT and it wouldn't have incorporated the email address line (I presume).

So my question is: Now that I've got it saved, it's appearance shows the email address line. Is there any way I can remove it (email address line) so it only reflects the spreadsheet?

Real stumper. Any screenshot to show?

For me, when I do that, a new email opens up and it's just an attachment. You may have saved the EMAIL and not the attachment is my guess.

I was able to duplicate on Excel 2002 SP2 on XP Pro BUT I had to save the sheet prior to sending. The way I was able to clear the email fields (to, from subject, etc...) was to address it to myself and send it again. This cleared the email fields and made it look like a normal spreadsheet which I then saved. Upon opening I only see the normal spreadsheet.
