Is it possible to read a .XLS file without having Excel software? Someone sent me a file and I need to read it, but I certainly don't want to buy anything for only 1 file. My OS is WinXP.

Get Excel Viewer. It's free from MS.
You can't edit/change nor save anything, but you can view .xls files.

I tried Excel Viewer before posting this thread, but it doesn't work with WinXP.

Does openoffice include a spreadsheet app?, if so i think it works with ms formats.
EDIT : checked openoffice.org, and it does support reasonable complexity and lower .xls files. -
second vote for OpenOffice - I've had no problems transferring Excel spreadsheets to and from OO Calc.

either that or get a close friend who has excell to open it for you
they can then export it to something universal, like html which you can access easly. -

Oh for the...
Have them send it to you as a PDF if all you need to do is view the thing. If you need to make changes to it then you're going to need Excel anyway. -
