The key word is small. I am hoping to find something other than open
office. Two files are being distributed in Microsoft Excel format. The
people who can't open the files will probably never need to open
Microsoft Excel format for another reason.

Excel Viewer 2003, available free from Microsoft might do the trick:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...f4-996c-4569-b547-75edbd03aaf0&displaylang=EN

"With Excel Viewer 2003, you can open, view, and print Excel workbooks,
even if you don't have Excel installed. You can also copy data from
Excel Viewer 2003 to another program. However, you cannot edit data,
save a workbook, or create a new workbook. This download is a
replacement for Excel Viewer 97 and all previous Excel Viewer versions."

About as close as you can expect in .xls compatibility without going
to something like Open Office.
