I was sent an Appleworks Spreadsheet file and am trying to view it in Excel.
Is there any free way to be able to convert this file using a PC?

Apple (at least the newer versions) use the UNIX operating system. If you
can save your file out to a text file, usually a Comma Separated Value
(.csv) file, you can use some code like the following to rewrite the file so
that it is readable in Windows/DOS:

Public Function UNIX2DOS(ByVal str As String) As String
UNIX2DOS = Replace(str, Chr(10), Chr(13) & Chr(10))
End Function

This is not an Excel newsgroup, so you'll probably want to ask over in one
of their newsgroups for specific directions to run the above code if you
don't know how. In the future, please come here if you have Access database
questions.
