Open XLS file
I have received an XLS folder with 2 files on CD which I have downloaded to
my Documents. These files contain €˜Spreadsheets. The first file 60KB opens in €˜Office Word Viewer without any problems. The second file which is a much larger 37MB will not open in €˜Word or the Excel Viewer and this message appears:- €œOffice application experienced an error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions. Check the file permissions for the document or drive. Make sure there is sufficient free memory and disk space. Open the file with the Text Recovery converter€œ. My computer is €˜Vista Home Premium can you suggest any other way to open this file or is my computer not up to the job? Many thanks. |

read-only? If it did, uncheck that option. -- David Biddulph "Acornad" wrote in message ... I have received an XLS folder with 2 files on CD which I have downloaded to my Documents.
