Is there any user of Map Info Professional 7.8, that can assist me to
mapping an excell file using easting and northing to create geographic
points?

Basically the process is - Open the spreadsheet in MapInfo - File ->
Open and set the 'file of type' to .xls. If your excel spreadsheet has
column headings then check the 'Use Row Above Selected Range for Column
titles' tick-box on the Excel Information dialog box and these will be
used in the new table. In the next dialog (Set Field properties) make
sure that the columns containing the x and y values are set as type
'float'. Your spreadsheet should now be open in a Browser window.
To create points go Table -> Create Points and select the appropriate
table and the columns that hold the x and y values. You also need to
select the appropriate projection so that the points will be created in
the correct place! If you open a map window for the table, the points
should be displayed.
If any of the x & y values are missing then make sure these are set to 0
rather than blank/null values in the excel spreadsheet or else you won't
be able to create points.

hands stumble is in calling the X and the Y.
The eastings are the X. They are values that increase in value to the east
(along the X axis, so to speak).
The northings are the Y. They increase to the north.
