Microsoft® Excel Viewer |
Introduction |
Microsoft is proud to
announce Microsoft® Excel Viewer 97, a tool
that enables Microsoft Excel users to share their
spreadsheet files with more people than ever
before! 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 any Microsoft Excel
file. |
Creating Microsoft Excel
spreadsheets for the Internet |
Today, the Internet and
other online services do a good job of dealing
with text data as well as graphic images.
However, tabular data (i.e. columnar lists,
graphical charts, or financial reports) are not
handled well. As more and more people begin
creating and distributing spreadsheets over the
Internet and corporate intranets, Microsoft has
created a tool that is designed to make it easier
than ever to view Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
files. Now, content providers can easily
distribute tabular information in Microsoft Excel
format (.xls). |
Use Microsoft Excel
Viewer for Microsoft Excel documents posted on
the Internet or intranet |
Microsoft Excel
Viewer 97 is built to automatically
configure itself as a Helper Application for
Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer (it can
also be manually configured as Helper Application
for other browsing tools). This allows users to
automatically view Microsoft Excel spreadsheets
(.xls) that are linked to HTML pages on a LAN or
the World Wide Web. |
Microsoft Excel Viewer
is FREE! |
Users are encouraged to
copy and distribute Microsoft Excel Viewer to
friends and coworkers, or post it onto public
electronic bulletin boards, LANs, and Internet
sites. |

While Microsoft Excel
Viewer allows you to view and print Microsoft
Excel spreadsheets using the look and feel of
Microsoft Excel, the retail version of Microsoft

creation and editing features that help turn your
numbers into answers. If you do not own Microsoft
Excel and would like to join the 30 million users
