icXL is a software that allows you to view and convert xls, xlsx, and cwk files into a readable format.
icXL offers multiple features that make it easy to view and navigate Excel spreadsheets without using Microsoft Excel. Users can scale from 25% to 400%, search for words in text, navigate with Jumpmarks, resize any column or row, and customize font matching. The program also allows for the conversion of spreadsheets to AppleWorks 5, AppleWorks 6, Microsoft Excel XML format, Text (csv or tsv), and RTF.
icXL opens a variety of formats, including Microsoft Excel 95, Microsoft Excel 97 to 2003, Microsoft Excel 2007, AppleWorks/ClarisWorks 5, AppleWorks 6, Text (csv or tsv). Furthermore, the software enables Mac users to access and view Excel files (PC or Mac created), as well as downloaded Excel files from the internet and email attachments from PC users. Users can also view Excel spreadsheets on the screen and print them with their original formatting preserved.
One of the major benefits of using icXL is its virus-free nature. Since icXL does not execute any macros, viruses hidden within an Excel spreadsheet will not be activated via the program. Jumpmarks are automatically created to help users navigate the document more quickly and customize font matching mechanism displays the font closest to the one used in the original Excel document.
However, the demo version of icXL converts only a portion of the original spreadsheet file. The last row of the converted file indicates that the conversion is partial and mentions that some rows are missing. Overall, icXL is a great software program for anyone who needs to view and convert Excel spreadsheets without installing Microsoft Excel.
