Help with EXCEL spreadsheet - Truckers' Trucking Forum

Curious1 · **^ Top** #1 4 Weeks Ago

I have received some spreadsheets that I really would like to use. However, they are in Excel and I don't want to buy Office just to use them. I have heard there is a way to use them without Excel but don't know how to do it..Can anyone help me?

Try OpenOffice. (org)

or you can make them on google documents for free also

The ones I received were already made..Not sure Google will work. But I am not real computer savy so I am not sure..Thanks for the suggestion!

Openoffice is a freeware office clone that actually works better, the open source community has made it so this product is faster and easier to work with that MS office (in my opinion) FWIW: I was a master excel user in a previous life and prefer openoffice now.

Sorry, but it doesn't work better. I have both and MS office is better, Open Office does have some problems opening MS office products. If you start with Open Office, it's a fine product.

I'm not gonna say for sure, but MS has a habit of changing small bits of their software to trip up third-party stuff.
The only reason I have Office right now is because I took a class that required me
to have the software. Any serious work I do is in OpenOffice, and I like it fine.
