How do I open Excel Spreadshet Files .XLS on XP

[Guest]

I was sent an Excel Spresdsheet file .XLS and can not open it on my system. I
have XP. What do I need to do to open these files?

You need the Excel program. If you have it, tell what happens when you try
to open it, and how you're trying to open it.

Try this site for a *free* XL viewer.
This download allows you to *only* read the .xls file.
You will not be able to make revisions.

You don't download Excel. You purchase it or Office Suite from a retailer or
order from MS on line. They will send you a CD.

For info on ordering see this website.

http://www.microsoft.com/office/programs/default.asp to see the Office
products and how to purchase.

Note:you probably don't need XL2003 so browse to the "previous versions"
section.

Check out Ebay for a deal on Office 97 or 2000. If you go this route, make
sure there is a licence for the product.

If you just want to view or print the Excel file you can

Download and install the Excel Viewer from....
