Exam 77-428 Microsoft Excel 2013 EXPERT
1. Manage and Share Workbooks
1.2 Prepare a Workbook for Review: Check for Issues (Compatibility Checker)

Info: Check Compatibility

Microsoft Office 2007, 2010 and Office 2013 have a new file format: XML (Extended Markup Language). All new files now have four letter extensions. For example, Excel 2013 workbooks are saved as myname.xlsx.

 

The format is so different that older versions of Microsoft Office cannot even open the new files without a free add-on. People are slow to upgrade their systems. So, there may be some Compatibility issues.

 

5. Try it: Check Compatibility

Go to File ->Info->Check for Issues.

Click on Check Compatibility.

 

Compatibility issues are grouped into 2 categories: Significant and Minor loss of functionality. What do you lose?

Themes and Styles are not supported by earlier versions of Microsoft Office. New functions such as Slicers, Sparklines and PivotTable Slicers are not supported, either. Click OK.

 

(Aw, you never let me have any fun.)
