    My old excel files being held hostage


    I got a new iMac this summer. I rarely need my old excel files, which were created when we purchased an older version of office. Now, when I just had to open one to send to an attorney, it won't let me print or edit and says I need to activate 365 to get in MY document! At the time I paid for this to be created. I don't use office anymore and this is a rare thing, but is there a way for me to have access to the documents? I don't want 365. I am just a stay home mom and not a business or anything. This wasn't a problem on my old Mac, so I am wondering if there is something I can change on this

    :)
