If you have Excel on your computer, Excel will open it.
If you do not have Excel on your computer...........Excel nor any Office
Programs are included with Windows XP..........
If you just want to view or print the Excel file you can
Download and install the Excel Viewer from....
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/xlviewer.aspx
For info on ordering Office Programs see this website.
http://www.microsoft.com/office/programs/default.asp to see the Office
products and how to purchase.
Note:you probably don't need XL2003 so browse to the "previous versions"
section.
Check out Ebay for a deal on Office 97 or 2000. If you go this route, make
sure there is a licence for the product.
