Hi Diane,

Maybe try the latest version of the converter as the developer fixed a few bugs that may be similar to the one you reported. You have 4.5 and the latest one is 4.6.

I also put your termbase converted here... at least this looks like the same one I did for you last time?

I finally found the cause for this. Essentially, I broke Excel 2003 support a few releases ago :-( That's why it works for Paul, presumably, newer Excel. I can fix it, but a new release will need localisation, and that takes time. If you are interested in a beta (working fine, but some UI changes only in English), contact me at glossary@cerebus.de
