I get email from friends that send me jokes to open with micro excel and I
can't open them why?
 
1. Do you have Microsoft Excel installed on your computer?

2. What is the extension of the attachments with the jokes?

Is it somejoke.XLS ?

I never heard of Excel being a joke transporter but who knows?

Its because Excel is only for serious work except, of course, on Fridays on
the L & G lists.

It's used for *everything* else, so why not? <g>

Thank you for your reply, and yes I have Microsoft Excel installed.

I'm not sure what you mean by the extension of the attachments with the jokes?
 
The emails must have an attachment that you are asked to open with Excel or are
you being directed to a website?

File extension is the three letters after the dot in the filename.

mywords.TXT

mypicture.JPG

exceljoke.XLS

Extensions denote which application must be used to open the file.

Check yours and post back with details.

Similar situation :
Mom why I can not open this door ?
The Mom told the kid every possible answer : trying pulling or pushing,
check if is lock and get the key, tried harder, I'm sure you can do it. If
not, call me I'm sure as hell I will open it for you. No Mom, the question is
why my father order me " you can't open that door"!!!
Like our friend said : you have to provide more info..........maybe that's
your friends'joke : they don't want you to open it. Regards

Or the kid who asked his mom "where did I come from?"

The mother spends 45 minutes giving a birds and bees lecture.

The kid responds with: Oh, Jimmy came from Dallas.
