When I create and save an excel doc in Office 2003, I cannot open it from any
other file other than excel (my docs, etc). I get the "Windows cannot open
this file" dialogue box. Also, the icon/logo is not the standard excel logo.
This holds true for all of my excel docs whether I created them on my
computer or opened them from email.

I had the same problem with Word docs until I did the "winword /r" thing
(which I found on this community site), but I can't find an answer for excel.

Thanks.
