opening documents .xls

IM taking online classes and I cannot open the documents that other students send me for our ranking in a group. they are on Excel, and they are .xls documents. He told me that it may be a read only document or someone is already open. IM on my laptop and not a networkmy iw Windows Vista Home Basic operating system. I open my Excel to see and he said .xl * what can change so that I can open these documents?

You mentioned 'on-line', where you see these .xls files?   Are these being e-mailed to you or stored on a network location?  Whether, can you save attachments to a location on your machine and open them from this location?

Which edition of Excel or Office are you using?  If it is not 2007 do you need something like that?

Have you checked in default programs under "associate any type of file or Protocol with a program" to ensure that the extensions .xls or .xlsx file point to "Microsoft Office Excel?"

  • I'm unable to open documents on my mac iCloud drive

    I'm having a problem where I am unable to open documents stored in iCloud drive on my MacBook Pro.  I already could solve this problem of disconnection and return in my iCloud desktop account.  This step doesn't work anymore.  When I try to open any file stored in iCloud, I get a message saying "the file _ could not be opened."

    Example: I opened the Pages.  When I try to open a file through this program, it will not be open.  If I try to open the file in the Finder, the same result happens.  This applies to the files of numbers and .pdf files.

    Hi mattfrompdc,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    Looks like you are having some problems at the opening of documents stored in iCloud drive. If you do not already done, please go to iCloud.com and connect see if you are able to open the files there. If you are able to open the documents there, the next step would be to start the MacBook Pro in Mode safe and see if you can open documents from your iCloud drive it. A time tested, and then restart the MacBook Pro and try to access the iCloud drive as you normally would.

    See you soon!

  • Could not open the xls for some reason any

    When I try to open a XLS file with numbers 3.6.1 I get the error message ' cannot be opened for some reason any. "

    I tried to change the type of file csv and txt but neither technique gives readable results.

    I also tried to fix HD Mac (in fact a SSD) with disk utility and reboot, but that did not help either.

    Thoughts?

    Dick

    Hi Dick,

    Change the extension (.csv or .txt) is not any change in the type of file.

    Assuming that, since you posted in the numbers for the Mac community and state what version 3.6.1 a number you're on a Mac (and not using iOS 8 on your iPad), you can try opening the file using LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice. Both are free to download and use. If none of them opens the file, it is probably corrupted. If they can open the file, there may be a compatibility problem between this file and the numbers. Try registering LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice (like a MS Excel file), then try opening thaat version saved in number.

    Kind regards

  • The index.xml file required is missing. Cannot open documents. 10.10.5 sys

    The index.xml file required is missing. Cannot open documents. 10.10.5 sys

    You have two versions of installed Pages, where the Pages ' 09 document format use it internal document index.xml, and all Pages v5 releases use a different document format that does not incorporate the index.xml file. If you have Pages ' 09 running without window, and double-click a v5 document Pages, you will get a Pages ' 09 dialog box indicating that the index.xml file is missing.

    Exit Pages ' 09 and then double click on the document to open correctly in your version of v5 Pages.

  • AppleScript/Pages can not find the open document

    This very simple script will not work:

    Tell application "Pages".

    activate

    say the document before

    name

    tell the end

    tell the end

    All of this has to do is give the name of the opened document. It says: "cannot get document 1. Invalid index. "And, Yes, there is an open document.

    This behavior deteriorated. He worked a few weeks ago and then become increasingly more broken. It's the same thing with the numbers.

    That's happened? My Applescript is corrupt?

    It works very well here:

             tell application 'Pages' to return before the document name

    And so for this:

    say application 'Pages '.

    say front document

    name

    end say

    end say
