Hi John,


I don't know that there is a 'viewer' for Excel files.


Numbers ('09 and the new version 3) will open Excel files (as Numbers files). the degree of fidelity in the translation depends what features used in the Excel version are supported in Numbers.


At least three open source applications, LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice, and NeoOffice will also open Excel files. Again, the fidlity of the translation depends on the feature match between xOffice and those used in the indivdual MS Excel file.


If you will be editing and returning the files for editing at the other end several times, your best choice is probably Excel itself, available as part of MS Office (Mac).


Regards,

Barry
