Denise,
You should always try and open Excel files within Excel or from explorer. Why would you want to open an Excel file in Word? Ewan.

Hi
Go to My Computer and click on C drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options/File Type tab. In that list there must be an entry for .xls If you click on Change, you can set the program to open it with from there. Andy. "deniseh" wrote in message ...

when opening a .xls file it seems to want to open in word, wha
Sorry, maybe my question is not very clear, it isn't me trying to open an
Excel file in Word, but that when I try to open an Excel file, say as an attachment in Outlook the default appears as Word not Excel. It is as though the file is being read as a .doc file not .xls.

Sorry Denise - didn't understand. Andy's solution should do the trick.
