There are different ways you can start OpenOffice
The program is by default installed in C:\Program Files\OpenOffice 
4\program Here you find programs:
sbase, scalc, sdraw, simpress, smath,swriter and soffice
You should start soffice instead of swriter.
Alternatively in writer go to File --> New --> Spreadsheet

Dave
I'm sorry about thesubject line I made a mistake.
I still can't find "Calc"
As mentionned before I downloaded and installed AOO but when I open the program only the writer opens up
Where do I open Calc or Spreadsheet?
Thanks for your help.
Jean

    Jean,
    
    It is not good practice to cram the entire contents of an email into    the subject line.
    
    To create new spreadsheets (what you describe as "Excel documents")    simply start the Calc program, enter whatever data and formulas you    wish, then use Calc's main menu "File -> Save As..."    option.
    
    To open an Excel (.xls) file, start the Calc program and use Calc's    main menu "File -> Open..." option to browse for the    required file.
    
    .You will find it helpful to read the documentation here:    http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/
    Specifically:    https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Calc
    
    
 Hope this helps.

Jean,

It is not good practice to cram the entire contents of an email into the
subject line.

To create new spreadsheets (what you describe as "Excel documents")
simply start the Calc program, enter whatever data and formulas you
wish, then use Calc's main menu "/File -> Save As.../" option.

To open an Excel (.xls) file, start the Calc program and use Calc's main
menu "/File -> Open.../" option to browse for the required file.

.You will find it helpful to read the documentation here:
http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/
Specifically: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Calc

 Hope this helps.

Dave
