Hello. I have one question regarding MS excel. How to open it without MS excel? For example: I need to transfer the particular .xls file to another computer and there is no MS excel installed. I need the file badly and I want another person to open it. How? I dont know why Im asking this but I do know that it might come handy one particular day in the future, right? Thanks for revealing the secret.

Hello. I know few ways which might satisfy you. First, in 80 of the computer population, there are Word and Excel installed. Second, if there is no Excel than there must be Open Office, which has superb support for all MS Office formats. Third, there is one small application called spreadsheet, that is written as alternative for MS excel, and it is totally free. Fourth, you can open your .xls files with Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. If the spreadsheet contains no macros, than it will be readable from within.
