The file is not in xsl format. Excel detects this and selects an import filter
for you. Because OOo is not only a spreadsheet application like Excel, but a
suite with other modules, it cannot know, which module you want and takes that
module, which best fit to the content. Your file starts with <html> and so
Writer/Web will be used.
To open such files in Calc, you have to select the suitable filter yourself.
Start OOo and open the file from inside OOo. First select the file and then
select the file type. You need the type "Web Page Query (OpenOffice.org Calc)
(*.htm;*.html)". The file will open in normal speed, at least it does in my
DEV300m77.
The upcoming dialog box helps, that numbers and dates are imported correctly.
This is needed because for example in German 1.000 means one thousand and in US
English only one; or in US English 2/3/2010 means 3.February and in GB English
it means 2.March.
Issue 89332 is about the feature, that OOo will open files, that are html in
content but have xls as extension, in Calc automatically. But the solution is
not integrated yet.
