Excel Neophyte

[Jane]

Can someone please tell me how to download and install
Excel templates that come in the .cab format? According
to MS instructions after the download, the file is
supposed to extract, but somehow this is how it's been
working for me.

Thank you!

Winzip (http://www.winzip.com) can read .cab files.

There's an Extract.Exe that comes with some (all??) versions of windows that is
a old DOS command (I still use win98) that can be used, too.

(Winzip has an evaluation version and it makes life a lot simpler.)

UltimateZip is free and will zip and unzip files, unzip individually,
use the right click to unzip to a folder, etc. Has been reported
better than WinZip but more important it is fast and it is free.

By right clicking on a zip file you can see inside and run, or view
any of the files within, which is nice if there are no dependencies
on the other files, otherwise unzip the file to a folder (default
folder has same name as the zip file.

Didn't know it when you posted but did check last week and
UltimateZip also does work on .cab files. In fact looking at their
site it is on the first line of items.
