Help me to open 'spreadsheets' please.

I have arranged to receive my company e-mails at home rather than sit down at anti-social hours poring over them. The company uses Lotus Notes and I am running W98 and use AOL. I have found that some of the lists are XLS files which require Excel to open them; my system denies all knowledge of this requirement. Any ideas, please? I'm quite new to all this, so the simpler, the better.

If you dont have a copy odf MS Excel try to get a copy of Star Office;it is free and appears on magazine cover disks regularly. It will open .xls files.

Microsoft do a free download of Excel Viewer, You can't work on the files but you can read them.
