The drop down arrows on a excel spreadsheet created on a pc does not work. If I open the spreadsheet on a pc I can use the drop down arrows. What am I doing wrong?

Thx

You are probably using active-x controls which are not supported on the
Macintosh. Revise the workbook on a PC and change the drop downs to controls
from the forms tool box.
