If you have Microsoft Office XP, 2003, or 2007, then you can enable it to open OpenOffice files by downloading and installing the converter from http://odf-converter.sourceforge.net/ . As with most file conversions, not quite everything converts perfectly, so you should read the Known Issues page. -- garfield-n-odie Microsoft MVP 2005-2008 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/

The Open Office file will have to be opened in Open Office. It's a proprietary format. It needs to be saved in the Excel .xls extension for it to work. Open Office gives the user that choice when the file is saved.
