Try to save it to disk
Then press SHIFT key and right click and choose 'Open With'... Choose Excel
and click on 'Always open with' check box...
This should solve your problem....

You have Works. You are trying to open an Excel file. These are not
the same thing. Works should be able to open a one-sheet Excel file. I
think. If it is a multiple-sheet file, you will not be able to see the
other sheets, just the first one.
