I bought new PC of Vista Home edition. I can't view a Excel made document
that was sent to me by friend because my new visa PC has no Microsoft Office
Excel be installed.

Is there anyway that I can view the document that made by Microsoft Office
Excel since I have no Microsoft office Excel be installed?

Help please. Could everybody please help me? Thank You for your time and
attention.

If you only want to view the files and not change anything on them (and have
no need for a spreadsheet program), then you can install the free viewer
from Microsoft:

If you'd like to be able to change things but don't want to purchase MS
Office (which has never been a part of any Windows operating system BTW),
then OpenOffice is an excellent office suite which can read and write MS
Office formats. It is free and available from [url]www.openoffice.org[/url].

There's also OpenOffice, which would let you do more than view. :)

C'mon boys and girls, let's stop thinking Microsoft and start thinking
Open:

Microbloat Office installed.

You can get Office 2007 Ultimate edition from several places (Amazon, for
example) for less than $400.

Then you'll be all set.

And then there's... Open... Office... which views any Microsoft Office
file, from Excel and Word to Powerpoint and Access, and lets you edit
them and or convert them to other formats, for free.

For free.

I've been using it for awhile, and it's beautiful. Just beautiful.
Microsoft is doomed to lose its grip--utterly--on the business
applications market.

It's not bad for letters to aunt millie...but only an idiot would think
of using it in a business. It'll screw-up .doc file with tables or
macros...and you...the business person look just like the petty fool you
are.

Another alternative to the MS Excel viewer or OpenOffice is Google Docs.
Only works with Excel 97-2003 docs (files with .xls extension) and not with
Excel 2007 docs (files with .xlsx extension). Won't do charts either.

So... if the spreadsheet you want to view is fairly simple, you could use
Google Docs to view it without having to install a viewer or OpenOffice.
(Although you would have to create a free Google account...) If the
spreadsheet is more complex, then you may have to go with the viewer or
OpenOffice.
