When I try to open excel 2007 in my windows 8, I get an error message:

Excel found unreadable content in "file name.xlsm" do you want to recover the contents of this workbook? If you trust the source of the workbook click yes.

I Click yes then brings up this error:

Excel was able to open file by repairing or removing the unreadable content.

Removed part: /xl/vba project.bin part (visual basic for application) VBA


Thanks.

Hi Philip,

Welcome to this Windows 8 Forums.

Control Panel > Programs > select Microsoft Office 2007 and click on Change > Add or Remove Programs > at the bottom of the list click on the plus next to Office Shared Features > select Visual Basic for Applications > I right clicked and chose Run from My computer > Continue. Reboot when it has finished.
