Downloading EXCEL files into Open Office
When download EXCEL files, they don't recognize my Open Office spreadsheet program. Is there a way to do that? I certainly don't want to buy Microsoft Office for the privilege!
Thanks - a new Open office user.

Set a File Association for .xls files to open using OpenOffice. How to do this depends on your Operating System, whose instructions you should check.

Spreadsheet files don't recognise anything, they are just files. Apache
OpenOffice however, recognise certain file types, Excel files are among
those. Also your operating system recognise them, if you set it up
properly. I don't know how to do that in your operating system since I
don't know which one you have, but I'm sure it's very easy.
