So i am in the Library section and want to look up exhaust bolts for a 69. Seems I need an ' app ' to open the file ? Never had that notice appear before ? I just know it's gotta be my computer doing something but asking anyway. Brian
That's ironic in a way, I installed Windows 10 a couple of weeks back and had to reformat my hard drive so everything was lost (mostly software, I back up data often). I had Microsoft Office on disc so that was no problem. What I was missing was Adobe Acrobat Reader which I literally just finished down loading about 10 minutes ago. Window 10 has a reader, but it does not always work.
Back to your "problem", and here are a couple of solutions:
- You can download "Microsoft Excel Reader" for free. Enter that on a big time web search engine, follow the instructions and it will take care of itself.
- Download a software package called "Open Office". It's free. It can open, edit, and save Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet files; open edit, and save Microsoft Word files; create spreadsheets and create documents.
What I did for my Adobe Acrobat (they end in .pdf) was the same, download their reader.
Now, I will continue surfing this site, surf the web next, while sipping on a Brandy Manhattan. Dinner is Steak Marsala. Enjoy self-quarantine.
