Default How do I open an "excel spreadsheet file, extention .xls"?

I recieved an e-mail from a friend and it was an "excel spreadsheet file,
extention .xls" and when I tried to open it with certain programs on my
computer and none of them could open them. I guess the information couldn't
transfer or something.

Kameron,

To open an xls file, you'll need the Excel program, or the free Excel
viewer. Microsoft Word can open xls files, but don't save over the same
name, or the formulas and other spreadsheet functionality will be trashed.
I don't know what they're smoking at the Word shop.
