How can I open an .xls file in MSWks Suite 2004?
I am running Win XP Home, MSWks Suite 2004. It uses Word 2002 for the word
processor. The president of our organization appears to be using Office whatever and sent me a copy of what he did and it has the .xls suffix. My machine tells me that Windows cannot open this file. If a converter/translater doesn't exist then we have a problem on the order of the one Houston had. Please advise |

You can't. Works Suite has a completely incompatible Spreadsheet of its own.
You can however open an Excel Spreadsheet and save it in Works format. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Stringbean" wrote in message ... :I am running Win XP Home, MSWks Suite 2004.

Windows cannot open the file because Works does not include Excel, however
the Works spreadsheet can open Excel files (after a fashion) from the File open menu of that application and Word can open it if you have the appropriate Excel filter installed - see file open and check the file types. If the filter is not installed, re-run setup from Windows control panel add & remove programs and add it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Stringbean wrote: I am running Win XP Home, MSWks Suite 2004.
