However, View automatically selects thecorrect viewer and displays spreadsheet files approximately as theywould appear in a spreadsheet program. Of course, View is not aspreadsheet program, so you can't use it to make changes to your file,but you can view your work without having to start the spreadsheetprogram.The viewer is available from within UNDELETE and CPBACKUP.Types of files that can be viewed include word processing files;spreadsheet files; database files; graphics files, such as thosecreated in PC Paintbrush; binary files, which may contain executablecode; and files created by archiving applications.ESupported ViewersViewing a FilePSPTSupported ViewersPLPH"Q"QEPI 00TEPZThe following file types can be displayed in their native format: Database Viewers Archives and Other Viewers Microsoft Works 2.0 SEA archive catalog" Binary" PAK archive catalog" ZIP archive catalog" ZOO archive catalog Spreadsheet Viewers Word Processor Viewers Lotus 1-2-3 1A, 2.0, 3.0 ASCII Lotus Symphony 1-2 Microsoft Windows Write Microsoft Works Microsoft Word 5.0 Microsoft Excel 2.0-4.0 Microsoft Works W.P.
