Default XLS File


I have downloaded a excel file for a Caravan Site Fee Calculator. I have not
got Microsoft Word to use it, but I can view it with the free Microsoft
Excel Viewer. I have got Openoffice, which you are able to open XLS files,
so I thought I could use that. When I open the file it comes up with "Error
Loading Document File Read-Error This File Is Password
Protested" I have not had this problem before opening xls files this way
with Openoffice

Early versions were quirky ... get the latest version of open office.

Maybe that particular file IS password protected!
