In screen #2, you select OpenOffice org 1.0 spreadsheet as the filter to use.
How do you exect it not to fail?. You should select the Microsoft
Office import filter.

Hi There,

First it's not an XLS file it's XLSX so that makes things a little different.
The version of OOo that you are using is fairly old.  So you have a number of 
solutions available:

Update to AOO 3.4
Use the OOo on your laptop to save it as a XLS 
 or conversely go into MSO and resave it as an XLS file

Cheers
