I downloaded an Excel form that I need to fill out. My computer does not have
Excel; but it has MS Works

spreadsheet. When I go to open the downloaded form with spreadsheet I get
the following error

message:

"This document is password-protected or encrypted. Open it in the
application that saved it, remove the

password encryption, then save it again. Then try to open it again in Works."

But I cannot OPEN it in Excel because I do not HAVE Excel. Isn't
"spreadsheet" supposed to be able to

open Excel docs? Is there a way around this?

Can you please help me open this important document?

Thanks.

go to microsoft.com and download the free excel viewer. This will at
least confirm you can open & read the doc/if not locked. Not sure of
any conversion/editing options for you from there.

Thanks. I did download the free excel viewer and it does open the doc. But I
cannot "save as" it as msworks spreadsheet doc. It opens strictly "read
only". I could print it out. But I need to fill out this form. I think if I
(or someone else) had Excel he/she could open the doc and then save it uisng
"save as" as a msworks spreadsheet doc.

Just to add to Julie's response:

The free viewer from Microsoft:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/of...347961033.aspx

If that version isn't supported on your pc, Ken Wright posted this link to an
older version:

http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fil...5257&fileidx=1

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

Dave:

I've downloaded the Excel Viewer and it opens the doc just fine. But in a
"read only" format. I cannot fill it in or save it. In a perfect world I
could save it via "save as" and save it as a ms-works, spreadsheet doc. But
no can do.

As for office.org. I've downloaded it just now but it seems to be a huge
prpgram to install for the sake of opening one little Excel doc.

Your thoughts?

Ask the author of the document to save the file in a fileformat that Works can
open.

(.wks is one -- but it may not keep all the stuff that's in the file. I think
..wks support just one worksheet per workbook.)

Julie:

Thank you for the offer. I just tried to email you via your profile page but
I keep getting a message saying my email isn't recognized. I just did sign up
for this forum today.

The form I am trying to get is a New York City Dept. of Cultural Affairs doc
called "Fiscal Year 06 Application." It can be down loaded at the DCA site.
See paragraph below.

Proposal materials are available online through DCAs website. Go to
www.nyc.gov/culture and click on €œPublic Service Award: Fiscal Year 06
Application€� to download the proposal materials.

That's where I went and dowloaded the Excel file that I cannot open with MS
Works.

If you would like, please dowload the form, open it in Excel, change it to a
MS Works spreadsheet doc (the extension is .wpi, I think).

And if not, if you feel this is an imposition, that's okay, too.

My email is .

Thanks again.

It's been more than 30 minutes, but you missed this portion of Julie's post:

henkens1

comcast.net

(munged on purpose)

(Was that the address you tried?)

If it wasn't, maybe Julie will be back and still willing to convert the file.

The light bulb lit a little late -- but I did figures this out and sent
"julie" the email at . But more than an hour had passed.
Clearly my bad. Maybe she'll respond next time she logs on.

Oh, oh.

I hope Julie doesn't get mad at you for posting her email id. Lots of people
munge their id so automated programs can't read these messages and extract it
and send them junk mail.

You'll see lots of stuff like:
