Re: Too many rows for this format (Excel)

[János Holányi <csani lme linux hu>]

Hi Jody,

Thanks for the hint.
However, what do you exactly mean by 'select
all the rows below your content and delete them.'?

I don't 'have' (use) any rows below my content... or do you mean
I should select even the unused rows up to... what number? :)

Thanks a lot,
BR
