i need help opening a file

[booth83]

hi, my boss recently sent me a .xls file with some info on there he wants me to see, he can't send it to the works computer as the tills there are very basic, my problem is that i don't have excel (i think thats what i need) and my computer is unable to open the file, is there any way around this?

i'm not paying for anything for the sake of opening 1 file and on the site i was directed to even a trial version required ordering a cd

thanks in advance
