    Can I open .xls file without Excel?
    « on: March 26, 2008, 05:30:57 AM »
    I don't have MS Excel, but have received a .xls file from mortgage company. Is there some way I can open this without going to buy MS Excel? Thanks, Raffals

      Or, get Excel Viewer 2003.  Open, view, and print Excel workbooks, even if you don't have Excel installed.

      Also this new Google feature allows you do edit and save .xls files as well as MS Word files.

      Link

      Or you can go to Google, at the top go to More and click on Documents.
