Many thanks - I hope that this doesn't cause you a problem in the future..
In the end I saved the file in 97 - 2003 format and the user went into Works
and opened the document as an xls file. This seems to work.

Excel and Works do not share any common file formats, as far as I know. I
tried running Works to see (it came bundled on this computer), but
unfortunately it appears that the Office 2007 beta trashed some of Works'
DLLs, and I have no way to reinstall Works on this machine.

I'm using Office 2007 and want to send a spreadsheet to somebody who only
has
MS Works. I can't see any .wks option in the 'Save as' list. I've tried
saving it in the Excel 97-2003 format but it doesn't work. Any ideas?
