Opening XLSM files

I downloaded this one (the only one I could find) from the MS website: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downlo...d=AB66B5BF-37C3-41BB-945E-784782FC582C#viewer but it comes up with "Unrecognised file type" when I drag the file onto it.
The file type should be recognised, as it opens fine on Windows machines with Office 07 installed.
You may try NeoOffice. It will open Excel 2007 files. However, I don't know if it will open macro-enabled files. Download it and try. If NeoOffice can't do the trick, then your only other option is to buy Office 2008.How can I open an XLSM file (not XLSX) on my Mac? I'm running OSX 10.4.10 and have Numbers, Office '04 and the Microsoft Beta converter thingy installed, and nothing will open this file.
Cheers
Use Preview
Use the latest version of Preview to open it.
Select all the text in the file by clicking and dragging your mouse over it.
Copy the text (CMD+C)
Paste it in your favorite spreadsheet editor. Most formatting preserved for me to Google docs.
Hope this helps
