Excel & MS Works compatibility
 

Should I be able to open, and create, Excel spreadsheets with my Works
software? My Dell E510 (about a year old) computer info says I have Office
installed (even gives me a Product ID), but it only lets me create documents
other than spreadsheets. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

With Works you can save as an excel file *.xls

You cannot open Excel files in Works.

Thank you very much. I was afraid of that, but maybe I'll be able to find out
how to access my Office software (if I really have it).

Many computers come loaded with Works and MS Word (but not Excel)
they may call that Office.
