You could download the Excel viewer from -

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=EN

I haven't tried it so I can't offer any view on it.

I imagine you are trying to open the file from floppy so that you can
then save it onto your hard disc. If so, then you don't need to do this
- open a window for the floppy and another window for the folder where
you want to copy the file into, then select the file icon in the floppy
window adn just drag it into the folder window. You won't be able to
open the file without Excel, though.

Hope this helps.
