Hi Deb, Wel, Excel files will not open in Duxbury. Here are two possible ways to go. 1. You can try either cutting and pasting or saving the excel file as an MSWord file. 2. The long way around; retype the info into an MSWord doc. Since a spread sheet is much like a table, you will probably have to do a good bit of reformating unless it's an unusually small worksheet. Hope this helps.

How should I go about opening these ... I don't know anything about excel except that it causes my head to hurt. I have 8 documents to fix and emboss. Thanks, Deb B.
