Hi Kris,
MS Works is not Excel. You will need to purchase Excel or MS Office unless you merely need to read the spreadsheet, in which case you can download a free MS viewer from: http://office.microsoft.com/download.../xlviewer.aspx --- Regards, Norman "KrisKelly" wrote in message ...

Depending on the complexity of the OP's workbooks and the speed of his/her Internet connection, OP could try using the free OpenOffice, http://www.openoffice.org There are several other freeware and shareware spreadsheet programs that can work with .XLS files, though few handle array formulas or external references. Gnumeric 1.4 does, but it's in beta on Windows. |

Thank you also for the Gnumeric information, although I note from a response to another recent question that you suggest that waiting until Gnumeric 1.4's Windows port is more stable. --- Regards, Norman |
