XL97: Warning Saving Workbook if It Contains a Sound Note

When you save a Microsoft Excel 5.0 or 7.0 workbook in the Microsoft Excel 97 file format, you may receive the following warning: where <Workbook name> is the name of the workbook you are saving.

This problem may occur if all of the following conditions are true:

• You open a Microsoft Excel 5.0 or 7.0 workbook that contains a sound note in Microsoft Excel 97. -and-
  
  
• You subsequently delete the worksheet that contains the sound note. -and-
  
  
• You save the workbook in the Microsoft Excel 97 file format.

Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows does not convert sound notes from files that you saved in earlier versions of Microsoft Excel. When you delete the worksheet in which you originally inserted the sound note, and you then save the workbook in the Microsoft Excel 97 format, Microsoft Excel does not keep track of the sound note.

To workaround this problem, delete the worksheet that contains the sound note, and then save the file in the "Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 Workbook" format. Then, close the workbook and reopen it. After you reopen the file, save the workbook in the Microsoft Excel 97 format.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows.
