My document won't open, tells me file format is not valid

I have tried to open an excel document IN Excel and it isn't opening. I get
an error message that says the file format is not valid. What happened?
I did open the file ONCE with Word. Could I have screwed it up by doing
that? I don't know how to get the file open in excel.
HELP!

Oh yes. :-( Better start looking for a backup.

Excel 2002/3 each have repair facilities in them but i wouldn't hold out
much hope in this instance - Worth a try if you have access to them though -
Just hit File / Open and then click on the dropdown arrow on the open button
for options.
