Software compatibility

[case sensitive]

If I have a "Microsoft Excel XP" file, can it be read with "Microsoft Spreadsheet" (the cheap Microsoft Works version)?

the best way to know is if the file icon is showing. if it is then one of your programs can read it other wise if it just looks like a strange small box forget it.

well, that's not the best way to know, but it's definitely the windows way...

If you've got access to the XP software, you can usually save teh file in a format that is backwards compatible to older Microsoft file formats and others...

Though if you had access to the XP software you probably wouldn't be in this mess, yes?

If you're not having any luck, try downloading the Excel Viewer from Microsoft:
