go to www.openoffice.org and download openoffice. I have opened several excel and word file that MS office could not or would not open.
Open them in OpenOffice and save execl format. Then you should be able to use MS Office Excel for that file. Same goes for Word doc.
The header for the file get damage and MS Office will not open the files. OpenOffice does not look at MS Office header format to open the file. That is why OpenOffice can open them.
OpenOffice is FREE and a great product. Check them out.
