Trying to open a excel spreadsheet
 
Do you own excel?

If no...

The free viewer (no changes allowed) from Microsoft:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/of...347961033.aspx

and the older version if you can't run the one above:

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...S/xlViewer.exe
(One line in your browser)

or...

Maybe a free spreadsheet program would work:
http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD

or...

Google Docs offers a free online spreadsheet program (and a word processing
program) that may be able to open your file.
http://docs.google.com

If you own excel, maybe the sender is using xl2007 and saving in that format.
If you're using xl2003 or below, you won't be able to open the attachment
without something special:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

This compatability pack for xl2002 and xl2003 allows you to open those xl2007
files.
