AOo version is OpenOffice 4.1.6 AOO416m1(Build:9790).  I wonder if AOo version
is not proper for my old laptop.

Setting keyword needhelp. Need a volunteer with a mac running Yosemite to try
to confirm this.

Reading through the complete thread on the forum referenced in comment 4 the op
was able to restore AOO 4.1.5 from the time machine. This points further to
this being a Yosemite only issue.

This is strange. If it were a general Yosemite issue, I'd expect that the Issue
appears on 4.1.5, too.

Can you link the Forum thread please. This makes it easier for us to get on the
same page.

I assume that the behavior could not be reproduced on Forums either, right?
Is this the only occurrence? Or do you have the issues to with ODS files, too?

Rephrase sentence:
John_Ha on his PC with 4.1.6 can open my old .xls files and my new .xls files
created on another computer with Excel, but I cannot do neither.

According to Jim's responses to your inquiry on dev@ at
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/cb2ee901c3ad709acf82ae1b826cbf92d0647086ff7348e4fd2e8f11@%3Cdev.openoffice.apache.org%3E.
4.1.5 & 4.1.6 were built with the same parameters. Since the op states that he
had no problem with 4.1.5 this would not appear to be cause of the issue.

No problem for me opening .xls or .xlx files.
No problem saving as .xls 

I opened the sample files he posted on the forum with no problem.

AOO 4.1.6 13" MacBook Pro (late 2013) macOS 10.14.1 Mojave

Could it be a OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite specific problem?
