PS Texts created prior to installing notes are unreadable after installing notes

0 Kudos

After going to Office 2010, we should have installed notes 1501371 and 1364806, so creating PS Texts would work correctly.  They weren't installed, and a lot of PS Texts were created using the Excel format.  We were able to create them, but not to edit and add to them.  So basically creating new ones and copying from the previous one was how "changes" were made.  When opening these PS Texts, you get the Microsoft message "Excel found unreadable content in '~SAP{......}xlsx'.  Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook?  If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes."   This allows you to open in and read it.  However, now we want to install these two notes, 1501371 and 1364806, so the PS Texts will work properly.  We installed in Dev, and find that is opens the old PS Texts fine, those created prior to Office 2010, and opens new ones you create after the notes are installed, but all those created using Office 2010 prior to the note are no longer readable.  It just opens the PS Text directly, with unreadable gibberish, without giving the Microsoft message allowing you to recover the contents.   This is probably a long shot, but does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this.  Just need to way to be able to open those PS Texts so we can read them.

Thanks for the reply Tushar.  That is a very old note, dated years before our installation, and I don't think it is what we need to fix this issue.
