MICROSOFT® EXCEL VIEWER FOR WINDOWS®95 -------------------------------------- Excel Viewer 7.0 is designed to make it easy for you to exchange Microsoft Excel documents with other people and view them on-line. The Excel Viewer allows you to open, view, AutoFilter, and print Excel for Windows® (versions 2.0 or greater) and Excel for the Macintosh® (versions 2.2a or greater) files.
