Generic spreadsheet to view .xls files

[pavimeus]

We use Excel in our office – a lot! We also email spreadsheets to clients – A LOT!! Quite often, the problem we face is that clients do not have Excel, or Quattro Pro; even when we send files in .csv or .txt formats, they can’t view it.

Is there a very basic and generic spreadsheet available that does not care what format the originating file is in? One that can be used to view .xls files?

Thank you very much!!

My goodness. Being gone a while has some benefits. To the OP: My sincere apology. Admittedly I was a bit miffed by your response. I tried very hard not to let that show in my response. In spite of how I felt, I did sincerely try to help you by providing other links that satisfy your needs. The questions I posed were intended to get you to really think about what you are asking for. Apparently I could have softened it.
