There is a great free MS Office compaitible program called open office
Its completely free and has all the features of MS Office and more, just make sure you download the right version for your OS.

Two options here:
1. OpenOffice; a free competitor to Microsoft's Office. It's (mostly) compatible with MS Office. Here, if you're interested:
http://www.openoffice.org/
2. Microsoft's own Excel Viewer. You won't be able to make any changes to the Spreadsheet with this, but you will be able to see it!

Spreadsheets require a program to read and write to them. Microsoft Excel is what the spreadsheet was written in and that is what you will need to read it. You can email it to someone who has excel and see if they can copy and paste the content into an email for you.

Excel is part of the Microsoft Office suite.
This means that to advise you of ways to get it free would explicitly contravene the regulations of this site.
Which means no-one is allowed to tell you that there are versions of this available, for example as torrents. And you certainly shouldn't go looking for these torrents in places like thepiratebay.org, because that would be wrong. You also should definitely not use a peice of software like utorrent to download them.
Obviously you should go out and buy M$ Office for yourself. That would be the right thing to do. It's not freeware.
After all, that's what all of us have done, obviously.
Ahem.

IThe attachment is probably an excell sheet so it needs the proper program to open it - Microsft Excell. Do you have that? If not, you can download a trial of Microsoft office that will include Excell.

Google has an online spreadsheet tool - you could check that out. Or have the person who sent you the spreadsheet save it as a .CSV or .TXT file and resend it to you.

Excel is a Micro$oft program.
If you want all the features and compatibility give "Open Office " a try. It's free.
Just yahoo or google the name ' Open Office '
Works great

I'm afraid you can't open it without having Microsoft Excel installed.
If you can have the file re-sent to you, ask them to send it using google spreadsheet and access it through a google account

Sorry hun but your going to have to purchase Excel to open the attachment. Unless you contact the sender and ask them to put the information on to a program that is compatable with your computer.
