file.

97 or Microsoft Excel 2000 format.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
- Use the right mouse button to click (right-click) the embedded picture.
- Point to Grouping and click Ungroup.
- Click Yes when you receive the following message:
This is an imported picture, not a group. If you convert it into a
