I have several files I created last year.  They are typed as xml files.  Now when I try to open them I get a message that they are not valid xml files.   Can someone explain why this happens and how to fix it.  I am attaching one of the offending files.

 

When I try to attach the file I am told the contents do not match the file type

Hi,

you have to store your file in a compressed folder and attach it to the message.

Create on the desktop a new compressed folder as follows: click on the mouse right button and choose new, then choose compressed folder and rename it. After that, drag on it  and drop the worksheet's file. Than attach the compressed folder to the message.

 

 

I've no difficulty opening my worksheets. The type indicated is XML as well.

 make sure you open the files correctly

Probably the file is lost.

It is convenient to have backup copies of all files in order to recover lost files.
