Opening a DOC file

Conor108 · 2008-03-19 15:32:43

I have a spreadsheet I'm trying to open. Everytime I do it says 'there is insufficient memory'. In properties, it says its a DOC file. Can anyone help me? I've tried opening it in MS word processor and OpenOffice. Thanks

Doc would indicate it's a word file and not an excel file. Spreadsheet would be .xls.

No it's a Word file from any version (6.0, 2000, XP, 2003, 2007) etc.

Yep, docx is Microsoft Open Office XML, introduced with Office 2007. You can still save Word files as .doc in 2007 to allow older versions of Office to open.

If it is indeed a spreadsheet rename it from whatever.doc to whatever.xls. See if it opens then.
