To what specific format did you save it and which Aperture version are 
you using?

The latest Aperture alpha release features an OpenXmlExtractor that 
should be able to process all Office 2007 formats. Only XPS is still on 
the todo list (it's a separate standard AFAIK but uses a similar format) 
and I must admit that the extractor hasn't had a lot of testing on real 
world data. The OpenDocument and legacy OpenOffice XML formats should 
also all be covered.

As usual, show me an example file and I'll see what I can do :)


Kind regards,

Chris
