Anytime I try to open up an excel document from an email it always opens up
in a "word" document! How can I change this to open in an excel format?

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307859 "How to change or select
which program starts when you double-click a file in Windows XP". The
process is similar in Windows Vista.
