.xls attachment

[Guest]

Hi, can anyone help me? I'm quite new to the whole computer/techno life and
have been trying for over 2 hours to find what I want!
A friend has sent an e-mail with an attachment which has a .xls file
extension. However I try, I am unable to open the attachment. I've downloaded
various software at 'my machine's' recommendation including a works
conversion thing for Word but still no luck.

I hope it's something really simple which can be sorted by someone with a
bit of a clue but I'm starting to get tied up in knots. I wouldn't mind but
the attachment sounds really good! (and we all know there aren't many like
that!) so PLEEEEAAASE help a damsel in distress!

Hi
you may try the Excel viewer:

Thank you Frank but unfortunately, it came up with
"The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see this
message when trying to access this download, you might try the "Search for a
Download" area on the Download Center home page." might it be a problem that
I'm on Windows XP and not 95?

Hi
maybe a line break in the link. Try the following:
goto www.microsoft.com
and search for Excel viewer
