You must also have Excel installed on your computer to open the file after
using one of the ZIP programs to unzip it.

If you don't have Excel you could download the XLViewer that allows viewing
and printing Excel files.

Note: this URL leads to the 2003 viewer.

You can use WinZip or PKZip to unzip the compressed file. Search
Google for free versions of these programs.
