Import an Excel spreadsheet

[Richard J. Kulda]

I read with joyful expectations the preceding posts in this thread.  
But I've not been able to apply the suggested methods. Here's my  
problem:

A client sent me an .xls spread sheet. My Finder suggests that I  
received it just fine. I do not have Excel. In the past I've had  
difficult but successful episodes getting the client to send me a Text  
format version of the spread sheet. It would be imprudent of me to  
impose this trial on the client. I've tried to use the Excel Import  
Wizard. Nothing works. I'm hoping to have my copy of iWork working  
soon. (I think I have a faulty CD.) Since the Finder keeps trying to  
use Numbers to open my Excel document, I'm guessing it will. Then my  
problem will be solved.

In the mean time, any ideas?
