Problem with excel in Confluence

Question

I has two problems witch Excel files in Confluence. After uploading the file, when I click on the preview, I do not see all the text in the cells (the difference shown in the screenshot). I do not see bold in the text either. Confluence is running on Windows Server.

Dear @Tomasz Bryła,

I am using this macro for a long time and since the beginning it had problems with some specialties of the Excel format. I think it is  a hard job for Atlassian, to run after the changes Microsoft does to its formats by time.

So my advice for this, best, you save the xls file in compatibly mode or in an older version. These formats are better recognized.

So long

Thomas

Ok thanks, what about bold font? The most important sentences are marked in the excel file, unfortunately after adding the excel macro in Confluence, I can't see bold in the text.

Dear @Tomasz Bryła,

this has to do with the implementation of the Office Macro. Sometimes it helps, when you save your Excel file in compatibly mode or even in an older format and then upload again.

So long
