Opening Excel Format downloads/ attatchments

Hello MS experts,

My problem is that I receive pricelists and other
information in Excel format.

I do not have an Excel programme in my windows 98 OS, so
is there any way that I can open / download these files
without having to purchase any Excel software.

I do have MS Works, MS Word,MS Money, and also Lotus
Smartsuite etc.

I would be obliged if somebody can help me with this one.

Thanking you in anticipation for your help in this matter

Download and install OpenOffice.org, avaible at
http://www.openoffice.org/.

OpenOffice.org edits M$ Word, M$ Excel and M$ Powerpoint docu-
ments. With ODBC Data Sources, you can also edit M$ Access Data-
bases.
