software

my friend sent an excel spreadsheet doc to me by email attachment. I have
windows xp with MS Works. I try to open the doc and windows does not
recognise it and I can't save it to my computer under my documents.

How can I open/save it
thanks
ilona

Excel (and the rest of office) doesn't come with windows. (MS does package
MSWord with Works--but not Excel.)

The free viewer (no changes allowed) from Microsoft:
office.microsoft.com/en-gb/of...347961033.aspx

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

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

or...

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