Windows XP & Excel
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. When I get to this site, it states the infomation I need is contained at this site. However, there is NO clear direction on how to get the info needed to open the excel file. CAN YOU, PLEASE, HELP ME WITH THIS???? Thank you, in advance. Russ Ramsey |

Windows XP & Excel
Windows XP is your computer's operating system. It does not include
any Microsoft Office programs, such as Excel. You can purchase Microsoft Office or Excel at your favorite store that sells computer software programs.

If you think Excel comes with Windows XP, that's not correct. Neither Excel, nor any other application program, has ever come with *any* version of Windows. If you want Excel, you can buy it, either by itself, or as part of Microsoft Office. Or you can download a free Excel viewer from MS. -- Ken Blake Please reply to the newsgroup |

Russ Ramsey Did your computer by chance come with Corel Quattro Pro preinstalled? If so, you can open Excel files with that. |
