Sorry, maybe my question is not very clear, it isn't me trying to open an
Excel file in Word, but that when I try to open an Excel file, say as an
attachment in Outlook the default appears as Word not Excel. It is as though
the file is being read as a .doc file not .xls.
Thanks for your time
Regards
Denise

Denise,

You should always try and open Excel files within Excel or from explorer.
Why would you want to open an Excel file in Word?

When I attempt to open an Excel file (not through Excel) by double cliccking
on file, the default appears to be word, so cannot read file correctly.
Please advise what I have to do to make sure correct extension is read to
open file correctl;y.
Thankyou
