Want an Amazon Gift Card? How can I get rid of this Excel 2007 Nag Screen

I have Office 2007, a purchase I regret every single time I open any Office document. I then have an Excel Spread sheet that is a ".xls" file; the document is encrypted (in my documents) and has password protection. I get this pop-up every time I save this document after making changes trying to get my to save into MS' Open Office format that I refuse to move to. Under no circumstances do I wish to convert this file to Office XML format (or any other format). I have scoured the web in search of a resolution to this annoyance and I will gladly award anyone who can help me shut this pop-up off with an Amazon gift card.

This document is both encrypted and password protected. The Office Open XML Formats available in the 2007 release provide stronger encryption. Do you want to increase the security of this document by converting to an Office XML format

I really think this is going to result in one thing: Uninstall 2007 and go back to 2000-2003 Office. Do you think they offer a downgrade option?

Found this in a search & it worked for me. Yes, I agree. that is a very annoying window. try the following If administrators want to prevent this security warning they could do so with the following regkey (at their own risk): [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\12.0\\Common\\Security] \"NoPromptForRC4Encryption\"=dword:00000001
