The free viewer (no changes allowed) from Microsoft:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/of...347961033.aspx

and the older version if they can't run the one above:

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...S/xlViewer.exe
(One line in your browser)

or...

Maybe a free spreadsheet program would work:
http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD

Hi

I was wondering if Microsoft offers a read only version of Excel. I
occasional receive files in this format but cannot open them. Is there any
read only program available for download.

Thanks Casual
