How to Open Xls Files in Windows XP
Files with the XLS extension are created with Microsoft Excel, the world's best-selling spreadsheet program. If you have ever needed to work with a data set, chart, or pie graph for work or school, it is likely that you have worked with Excel. However, due to the cost of Microsoft Office, you may not have it installed on your home computer. Use Zoho Sheet, a free online Excel viewer, to open and view an XLS file on a Windows XP computer without Excel.
