You'll need to download an xls converter (which would change it to a different file type) or a program that will allow you to view it (I'm pretty sure that openoffice.org is compatible with Macs, and that opens Office files like the .xls). Or, you can use a free service online like <a href="http://zamzar.com" rel="nofollow">Zamzar</a> to convert the xls file to either pdf (you won't be able to edit it on-screen though) or to .ods (OpenOffice spreadsheet filetype, which then might be usable with your Mac software as long as you have spreadsheet software installed).

I really had no idea what to post about for a challenge this week, and just whipped up the template quickly this morning. lol :) I keep my query list in a basic Word list, and any ideas for stories in notebooks. But a spreadsheet seemed neater, and it's something I'll need to transfer my own notes into as well. :) lol But procrastination does make things “fun.” ;) I’m glad you both found the template useful.

I have a query list on a beat up piece of paper but I never get around to doing something smart with it because [insert whiny voice] "It's too ha-ard." Now I've seen your sample I have absolutely no excuse. Thanks, as always, for the great tips. Hi Jenn – that’s a great idea.

I usually keep mine in a notebook that later becomes soaked with pop or coffee from me knocking it over. It would make more since for me to do it this way. Thanks for adding the query list here.
