Importing excel spreadsheet and getting format problems

[arubalou]

I attempted to open a excel spreadsheet. when it opened all the words and numbers were of a strange origin. not what I expected to see.
Any suggestions to correct this?
Thank you

The file is saved in .xsls format? If yes, can you open it in Excel?
Can you share the file? At least post a screenshot?
