Microsoft Excel for Windows 95 Version 7.0

[Richard Stauffer]

Hello MS,
I am unable to open the later versions of MS with my old
version of MS(Microsoft Excel for Windows 95 Version 7.0).
Is there something I can do to upgrade this old version?
Thank you,
Dick Stauffer

Richard,

Excel v 7 can't open files created with later versions because
the internal file format for Excel was change in version 97. You
can't upgrade Excel 7. You'll need to buy a full version of Excel
2002 or 2003.

As an interim alternative, you can ask the creator of the files
to save them in the dual 7/97 format, available in the Save As
Type drop down in the File Save dialog.
