How can I open binary files, that are email attachments?

I have received .xls files as attachments to a Yahoo! email. I cannot open them. Any ideas please? Bob.?

  • If it helps I am using MS Office 2000 SP3. The files are flagged as 'no virus detected'.

  • Answer:

    It was probably saved by the author as a newer XLS file. Meaning they had something newer than you have. They need to resend it as a office 2000 document for you to open it. there is a great open source office suite you can download for free at : http://www.openoffice.org/ it works with most office suites

Try right-clicking to save them first (e.g. to your desktop) and then open them from where they have been saved.
