FAQ005 - How to let people without MS Excel to review the MS Excel files™

Answer:  

Microsoft Excel Viewer is a small, no-charge, freely distributable program that lets people view and print Microsoft Excel for Windows (version 2.0 and greater) and Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh® (versions 2.2a and greater) spreadsheet files. Microsoft Excel Viewer gives users the flexibility to view page layout, copy, zoom, AutoFilter, and control cell sizes. The Microsoft Excel Viewer supports OLE DocObject as well as the ability to view and print any Microsoft Excel file.
