Microsoft Excell and Apache

Hello,

I was wondering ... If I "publish" an excell spreadsheet on a Windows
machine, I am able to use the built-in thingie (I have no idea really what
it is) that lets me edit the spreadsheet even though it's an HTML document.

Is there a plug-in that would let me do the same thing under APACHE? It
really isn't an IIS thing, since I can edit the Excell spreadsheet and I
don't have ANY IIS stuff on the particular box.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is not. When you "open" the spreadsheet the browser (if it's a Microsoft
browser) will try to open the binary document with the relevant
application. If there is Excel installed on the machine it will be used.
If you don't have Excel installed the browser will ask you what you want
to do with the file. BUT you can't save the modification on the server,
the document will be read-only.

It doesn't matter the server, it does matter the client.
