Out of memory error in Excel

[johapi]

I am trying to open an Excel file that a friend emailed me with an animated puzzle of some sort. The file name is Watershare.xls and its size is 106KB.

It works on the Windows version, but not on the Mac. I have an iMac with the latest Leopard OS.

The file never opens. Instead I get an "Out of Memory" error box.

Any ideas?
Thanks

What version of XL?

I'm running Excel 2004 for Mac version 11.2.5 (060620)

You can find a version of the file that gives me the error out here:
