Hi
I have transferred some old excel documents onto my new computer which runs
on windows xp home edition but I am unable to open them, is there a way to do
this, Thanks

Do you have Excel installed on the new computer? Excel isn't part
of Windows, so you would have had to purchase it with your new
computer or purchase it separately.

An alternative would be to download the Excel viewer. (No editing, just
viewing.)
