How to Make Excel the Default Spreadsheet App in Mac In this thread: Set Excel as default instead of Numbers - Apple Community instructions were given to make excel the default spreadsheet on a Mac, even when opening a Numbers document. I'm finding that this doesn't work now. After going through all the steps, when opening a numbers doc, it opens in numbers, which I prefer not to use. Right clicking on the doc and opening with excel doesn't work either. It's not an option and it's greyed out in the apps I can use for this purpose. Does anyone have a fix? Thanks.

activeX that's a name I've not heard in a long time

microsoft dropped all support for it back in 2005

if it was me then I would open as read-only and then use save as to save it after removing anything activeX related
