  1. Is it possible to download read-only copies of Word or Excel files?


    I have a 6-month old desktop running Windows 11. I do not want to purchase Word or Excel. I've ran into a problem trying to download information from the Calif. Public Utilities Commission that's in an Excel format. Is there anyway to download a read-only copy or see the needed information contained in the document? I get a message trying to sign me up for annual subscription of Microsoft 365 when I try to download the file. I have Word and Excel on my old Windows 7 desktop but I don't have it connected to the internet. Thanks for any information you can provide. Janis

    :)

    We would like to know more about your concern. For better assistance, please answer the following questions:

    • What is the build and version of your Windows 10?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • Are the Excel and Word documents the only files affected?

    Regards.
