ESRI-shapefile to Excel Freeform

[jpunja]

I have an ESRI-shapefile (.dbf, .shp) and want to transform these files into Excel freeform format. In other words; I would like to have vector files in Excel based on an import of ESRI-shapefiles.

I do not have any idea how to do that and Google doesn't help me... Maybe someone here has an idea?

I think you can open .dbf files from excel as standard? Not sure what program you are using to create them initially though otherwise.

I can open .dbf files, but they do not represent the vectors... (it is data about size, number of people living in that area, gdp et cetera).
I thank that vector data is in the shp file, but I can't open a shp-file with Excel 2010.
