Embedded file in Excel — How to Open
If you are looking at this post now, it’s probably because you have the need to open an embedded file and you are not using Microsoft Excel. Because in Microsoft Excel, you can just double click the little file icon and the embedded file will launch.
Here’s how it looks.
So in the case that you are using Numbers, or Libre, or OpenOffice, or ONLYOFFICE (I’d recommend this, it’s free and has best compatibility with Microsoft Office — based on the basic comparisons I’ve done so far), you probably would be pretty lost at why it’s impossible to double click and launch that embedded file.
Here’s what you got to do.
Step 1) Make a duplicate of your Excel file.
Step 2) Rename your Excel file as a .zip file.
Step 3) Unzip the zip file.
And there you have it! In the unzipped folder > xl > embeddings, here is the embedded file. And now you can open it with your favourite spreadsheet application.
