1. that file might be a virus.
2. maybe you don't have that program in order to view the file.
3. don't open any attachement if you don't know who sent it.

Your computer may not support the file format.
Try saving the file with a different extension, and see if it opens then.

Your computer probably doesn't have the program that the file was created in and therefore can't open it. Ask the sender what program created the attachment and you'll need to install that software to view it..

Don't open attachments unless you know what it is and it is from a trusted friend.
What message do you get when you try to open it?
What is the name of the attachment - is it a something.txt, something.gif or what does the filename end with?

Do you notice the little Excel icon on the document icon image? in case you do no longer, it is probable a text cloth document or another style of document that homestead windows explorer won't promptly associat Excel with because of the fact the document might additionally probable be pulled up in different courses alongside with be conscious or some text cloth viewer software, etc. finding on the document kind, you won't want to affiliate Excel because of the fact the default software to open that document. surely homestead windows Explorer does not comprehend what software to deliver the document to. it is why the 1st answerers stated you're able to desire to suitable click the document and choose Excel to open the document in case you will do it from homestead windows Explorer. the clarification why Excel opens it from Excel is as a results of the fact considering the fact that homestead windows knows you try to open it from Excel it is going to attempt beginning it in Excel. If it could open the document, it is going to. If it could no longer it is going to tutor some message asserting that Excel can no longer open the document. in case you like homestead windows Explorer to renowned to promptly open the document in Excel, the perfect way is to the two shop the document as an Excel format or to furnish the filename a .xls extension. There might desire to be the reasonable threat that your homestead windows registry for Excel is tangled up. yet you desire to be extra suitable great careful in case you mess with the homestead windows registry and you're able to desire to continually create a back up of the registry in the past doing so. The registry is quite like the heart and soul of your laptop. You mess the registry up and your laptop especially much dies.
