Microsoft Excel is a program used to make spreadsheets for use at home or for businesses. Excel uses many common file types such as XLS, XLSX, XLTS, XLT, CVS, HTM and PDF. If you want to send Excel files between Macs and PCs you can do so as long as both parties have Microsoft Office installed on their computers. Also, both the Mac and PC need to have access to the Internet and an email client with which to send or receive the Excel files.
Step 1
