Will, I actually have been saving my files as .xls (excel format) and can open them without a problem on my installation (most currently updated from wherever, stable or unstable, not sure where it's at currently truth be told). Of course, I don't have Excel to check the reverse. I did have an excel spreadsheet emailed to me. It opens without a problem. You might try removing gnumeric and using fink to reinstall it in order to catch any dependency issues. This might be overkill, but I think it should work. I installed mine using fink install. Good luck, Brandon Potter
