    Re: Microsoft Excel in Microsoft works - how to open

    Ask the person who created the excel document to save it to a version that Works
    can open.

    I don't use MSWorks, but I think that the old Lotus 123 .wks can be created by
    Excel and read by MSWorks.

    or...

    The free viewer (no changes allowed) from Microsoft:

    http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/of...347961033.aspx

    and the older version if you can't run the one above:

    http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...S/xlViewer.exe
    (One line in your browser)

    or...

    Maybe a free spreadsheet program would work for you:
    http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD

    Re: Microsoft Excel in Microsoft works - how to open

    Microsoft Works can open any Microsoft Excel 97, Microsoft Excel 2000, Microsoft Excel 2002 (XP), or Microsoft
    Excel 2003 file.


    How to open a Microsoft Excel file in Microsoft Works:

    Start Microsoft Works Spreadsheet.

    On the "File" menu, click "Open...".

    In the Files of type box, select "Excel SS (*.xl*)"

    Find and single click on the Microsoft Excel file, then click "Open".

    Alternatively, you can double-click the Microsoft Excel file to open it.


    NOTE: Works Spreadsheet opens only one Excel worksheet at a time. If an Excel workbook contains more than one
    worksheet, Works Spreadsheet opens each worksheet as a separate file.



    If you just need to view a Microsoft Excel file, I'd recommend that you download the Microsoft Excel Viewer.

    NOTE: The Microsoft Excel Viewer 2003 will NOT install under Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition
    (SE), Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me), or Windows NT 4.0. If you are running any version of Microsoft
    Windows that I have mentioned above, the you will need download and install the Microsoft Excel Viewer 97
    instead or use OpenOffice.org.


    Download Microsoft Excel Viewer 2003
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

    View this: Opening a file when you don't have the program

    Share Excel files by using Excel Viewer 2003

    In addition, you might find this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article helpful:

    Works: Sharing Works Files with Other Programs
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2710...22120121120120



    Or you could download a free open source alternative such as OpenOffice.org which can create, open, edit, and
    save Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets (.xls) and Microsoft Excel Templates (.xlt).

    You find more information about OpenOffice.org at, well...
    http://www.openoffice.org/

    The latest stable release (at the time of this post) is OpenOffice.org 1.1.5. You can download it here:
    http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.5/index.html


    Other downloads can be found here:
    http://download.openoffice.org/

    And if you need a manual for OpenOffice.org (i.e. an installation manual), you can find them here:
    http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/

    NOTE: To view PDF files, you need the Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can download it here:

    locations. Please note that the Microsoft.com link is a direct download link.
