No. ending in ".doc" is for Word files... change the file name to end 
in ".xls" and you should be able to get it to open in Excel... silly, 
yes, for us old Mac heads who remember the good old days when a program 
knew what was supposed to open it by internal mechanisms... easily the 
worst mistake of OSX was losing that feature.
