There was a video I found to open excel. Select browse and the file you want to change…

excel wasn’t an option. Word was…I tried different things to no avail.

I have several to change. All my recipes etc.

but, I wanted to do one at first to see if it worked.

    An .XLR file is a Microsoft Works Spreadsheet file. This is not compatile with Excel. (Excel spreadsheets use .xls or .xlxs extensions).

    There are some online file converters you might look into if needed.
