I go to the Yahoo group for 16 ga reloading. It lists the different files in .xls and .odt formats. But I can't get any of them to open up. On my home Windows 7 computer, trying to open them crashes Internet Explorer. On the computer at the public library, also Win7, won't download.

The low pressure spreadsheets - can't find them.

I know that somewhere in the past I sent money, but I can't get the info. Now that powder is (slowly) starting to become more available - I actually saw a can of Unique the other week! - I'd like to be able to load a box or two of 16 ga shells.

Anyone have any ideas how I can get these spreadsheets and, hopefully, download them so I don't have to go through these gyrations any more?

Thanks, folks!

I have Excel 2007 on my ancient computer and Windows XP and the Yahoo spreadsheet opens into them.

I am using Mozilla FireFox as Windows Explorer became unfriendly.

Each file has an open office counterpart.

Dave,

I have the same problem with the files. But I can read them if I open them online using Outlook in Hotmail, which BTW is still free (not that we burden ourselves with such petty matters of course.) Very Happy

The files are written in 2007 Excell which most excel versions will open. Except for some of the newer versions of office which come preloaded on some computers. They are not full versions of office. Open office will also open the excel versions of the spreadsheets.
You can also download the Excel reader which will work or just download Open Office which is just as good as Office and it is free.
Excel reader http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10
Open office http://www.openoffice.org/

I forgot. Quit using Internet Explorer, Download Firefox
Also if you are having problems with the spreadsheets you can post a message on the group and I will get it and can answer any problem you are having.

If you have Microsoft Works on your computer, that little gem will open up the Excel spreadsheets, too. Works used to come preloaded on a lot of computers.
