Linda, I have MS works ver 6 and the options for save (besides works) are as follows Text & commas )*csv) Text & Tabs (*txt) Excel 97 - 2000 (*xls) Excel 5.0/95 (*xls) Excel 4.0 (*xls) Lotus 1-2-3 (*wk 1) Alice Corbett ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda F.

I didn't even know there WAS a "MS Works Excel". Are you saying it's a Works spreadsheet that you are trying to open in Excel? Does Works give you the option to save it as an .xls file or maybe a .csv file? (never used Works so I don't know what your save choices are) Linda Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com ABC Free Ezine ~ Free Ebooks and Tutorials *all outgoing mail scanned by Norton AV.
