What should a xls document be opened with?

I am trying to open a document with xls on the end and it continues to try to open in word instead of excel-how can I solve this problem?

Hello:

You are right. The file must be opened with Excel.

You will need to go into your control panel and change the program that opens the file with Word to Excel.

It is made in different ways depending on what operating system you have.

This article is for XP and includes an automatic application of fix - it.

If you are running a different operating system, perform a search with the words: change file associations

    I installed 5.6.2 Pages but all my old documents will open with ' 08 v.3.03 How can I remove the Pages ' 08 and update all the old documents

    5 pages is located in your Applications folder.

    Pages ' 08 is located in your Applications/iWork ' 08 folder.

    If you open your old documents Pages ' 08 with 5 Pages it will convert and if not damage, remove a large number of useful features.

    You will probably regret upgrading to 5 Pages which Apple has made extremely inconsistent and keeps changing its file format.

  • There is no way to screen to adjust my brightness. What should I do? Dell laptop with windows 7

    My Fn button works, but my arrow key up does not work so now I can't set my brightness. I did all the recommended updates and all those in option. I read all the suggestions on the calibration section, but I have to manually change to this option. I tried to go to the Power Options setting to change, but no cursors appear. I also tried the Windows Mobility Center, and there is no option for brightness. I tried to turn on the Adaptive brightness, but I don't have this option. I read that drivers up-to-date will help, but I don't know which driver to update and I can't find any information about it. I can't stand that it is on the lowest setting of brightness. I'm fed up with going from site-to-site Web making installation after installation. I need something that works for now. I have a Dell laptop which is running Windows 7.

  • What should I wear to the front with ATT and Airport Extreme?

    I have AT & T Uverse with an Airport Extreme.

    EI is implemented as a bridge, because it wouldn't work otherwise.

    I went into the game/NAT on the router/modem ATT layout and tried to activate some ports to forward.  Then I check the port and find that it is always closed.

    Someone here would be able to offer assistance with problems?

    I do this to try to send large files to a friend VIA files torrent based, although it does not seem to allow me to seed.

    Before ATT I got time warner and my own modem and router combo, and it works wonderfully in this configuration, so I can only the assertion that the issue is somewhere in the new place from the material.

    Now, if I try to download a standard torrent, I have no problem, but try to make my own with the trackers who have worked before, there is no dice.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    ATT system is the NVG599 of ARRIS

  • What should I do to a server with a Linux OS based on our website running on a WINDOWS

    Dreamweaver allows you to convert my site to work on servers LINUX... ? All my pages are .asp.

    Check with your host, but my immediate answer would be no.

    Linux servers generally run Apache running PHP/MySql.

    ASP pages do not easily convert to PHP. The syntax of ASP script must be rewritten for PHP, although much of it is similar feature-wise.

    How many script ASP is on pages?

    If the steps above do not work I suggest you try to create a new user account and check if you can open programs and windows normally.

    Create a new user account.

    a. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.

    b. click on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    c. click on create a new account.

    d. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.

    If you are able to access it by using the new profile, access the link below and follow the steps to correct the user's profile.

    6 of Lightroom is a version of the Adobe product serial number, the same product is known as Lightroom CC in the case of a subscription.

    Please visit this link to learn how you can download your app:download and install Adobe Creative Cloud applications

    I bought photoshop elements 13 and downloaded and tried to install it. I got an error message that says it is a pirated version and install. What should I do?

    Start with the one that you bought - see what they have to say for her.

    While the use of the words "pirated version" is conclusive enough, if you can view the full error message it might help explain the problem also.
