You should be able to download an Excel viewer that will enable you to open
the file, you will not be able to edit it though without having Office or Excel installed on your machine but you will be able to view the attachments. Hope this helps Joan "Russ Ramsey" wrote in message ... I have recently purchased a HP with Windows XP. I have been sent an excel (.xls) file as an attachment via email, and cannot seem to open this document. Everytime I attempt to, I get a pop-up message directing me to the Microsoft Office web-site.
