How do i open excel doc in works?
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 www.openoffice.org and download a free copy. "Compatible with all other
major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and distribute." "mdelmatt" wrote: I downloaded an Excel form that I need to fill out.
