I get emails at times and they are excel documents. I try to open them, but I get a dialogue box saying "File Format No Longer Supported". WTF is this about?

I have tried deleting preferences, and fixing permissions, and reinstalling nothing matters. Now, I thought it may be a PC to MAc thing - because these are coming form a PC, but nope - I can forward these to my manager who has a G5 iMac ( I have a dual 2.5 G5 ) and he can open it fine.

We both have the same Office version, which is 11.1.1, and the same OS, which is 10.3.8.

I don't get what is going on with my version of excel or my machine for that matter.

Has anyone heard of this happening before?

Are you opening them from within the email or saving them to disk first?

Thanks for responding.

I have tried opening from email, and also saving to disk. It doesn't seem to matter...

No idea.

What are the file extensions on the documents?

The other thing is get info and see if you might have changed the default app to open them.

After that I have nothing.
