opening XML Files mjlohr 11/5/2008 1:12:09 PM I am currently in college and my professor put some files on our school website for us to save to do our work at home. She saved them in XML format and I spent hours trying to open them but I wasn't able to. I tried saving them to different areas like "My Documents" and I tried to chagit it to .xlsx but nothing works. Can someone please help me figure out what to do because my assignment is due next week. Thank you. Mary

OK. To begin with, changing the file extension won't help. That's like changing the label on the salt shaker to read "Sugar" ... doesn't change what's inside and that's what counts. Do you know what exact steps she followed and *why* she saved them as XML instead of as normal Excel files?
