Try just changing the name to *.xlsx, that is remove the .zip, and see if
that works.

I received an Excel file created in 2007 format (*xlsx) and I am unable to
read the file, even after downloading the conversion patch
(http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/pr...686761033.aspx) The file
came to me with a *.xlsx.zip double extension. After extracting the .zip
files (14 files in 8 folders), I can view the individual files in xml
format,
but not a completed spreadsheet. What needs to be done to view the single
workbook spreadsheet in Excel 2003?
