How large is the file?

If you cannot do it, I might be able to convert it to an ods (calc) file for 
you. That said, excel may be able to write an ods file directly.

It is better, of course, if you do it yourself.

If AOO cannot do it, I might try LO (LibreOffice), sometimes, what fails in one works in the other. Kind of a least resort for a casual user I think.

Are you receiving any error message?

The size shouldn't effect it's ability unless you have hundreds of 
sheets. Emails also shouldn't make a difference.

I will answer below in blue.

Joelle,

Assuming it is a Calc file there are some pieces of information that would help 
us help you.

I created it with OpenOffice, the file says, 'Type: OpenDocument Spreadsheet'. 
Last modified 5/17/2020. I've been using OpenOffice for years, since before I 
got my current computer.

1) Do you get an error message when you try to open the file you're having 
problems with? If so what does it say?

There is no pop-up error message box, just a blank grey page with a spinning 
cursor. The green load in bar at the bottom has no activity. All I am able to 
do is close the file, but it warns me with a pop-up box, 'OpenOffice 4.1.7 is 
not responding, If you close the program, you might lose information.'

2) What operating system and version are you using?

Microsoft Windows 10 Home, 2004 version

3) How much RAM does your computer have?

4.00GB of RAM

4) What version of OpenOffice are you using?

I just uploaded the Open Office 4.1.7 this morning hoping that would help, I 
had the 4.1.5 just before that. Hope I didn't make things worse.

5) How much memory does OpenOffice have allocated for use?

I can't find online how to check this. When I try to open the file, the Task 
Manager says 'OpenOffice 4.1.7 (32bit)'. I have 25.5GB of free space on my C: 
drive. Not sure if this is helpful.

6) How big is the file you're trying to open?

84.9KB

Joelle,

Do you mean an OpenOffice Calc file? If you do mean a M$ Excel file you will 
need to go to a Microsoft help site.

Assuming it is a Calc file there are some pieces of information that would help 
us help you.

1) Do you get an error message when you try to open the file you’re having 
problems with? If so what does it say?

2) What operating system and version are you using?

3) How much RAM does your computer have?

4) What version of OpenOffice are you using?

5) How much memory does OpenOffice have allocated for use?

6) How big is the file you’re trying to open?
