How can I open a .wks file using Excel?

[Jodi]

Someone sent me a .wks file. I would like to open it. I have Excel, and am
running Office XP Home Edition.

Thanks in advance!

A quick look in Excel, File SaveAs suggests that Excel can save files as .wks and should therefore be able to open them.

In Excel, does File, Open, dropdown 'Files of types' and select .wks then browse to the file help?
