I have xl2000 - please - my boss opened one of my xl files in word - it has
tons of data - now i can't open it in xl anymore - HELP
 
Your boss most likely also saved it when in Word.

It would have defaulted to being saved in Word format.

Unless you have a recent backup the only solution would be to re-create the
layout in a new Workbook then try to salvage some of the data from the
saved-in-Word file by opening in Word and grabbing what you can to copy and
paste, if possible.

AFter you've taken Gord's advice, tell your boss you expect to be paid
time-and-a-half for the time to recreate the file.
