Gatt Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Our burser has had an email through with an attachment ending in .AWS The sender kindley stated that this can be opened in Excel.. Only it can't we have no idea what the document is (though guessing its a spreadsheet) or whats in it. A quick google pointed us to a commercial office suite called "Abilty".. So we either have to email the sender back asking them to resend in a format compatible with Office (2k3/2k7) or find someway of opening this file ourselves...
plexer Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I thought Tesco were selling ability office as their own product but can't find info on it. I think your best bet is to ask however sent it to resend it as a csv or something else you can open in excel. Ben
OutToLunch Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Bung the free trial version of Ability onto a machine and see what you can export as?
mac_shinobi Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=AWS they must be getting confused as it seems like an ability office spreadsheet not excel Open Office may open it but ive never tried it so dont quote me on that. Best bet would be to get back to them and get them to make it into a file format thats compatable and workable with excel
Gatt Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 i've asked the bursar to contact them and get them to resend as something univerally accepted!
