If OpenOffice is quibbling about the file tye nd asking for an import filter, 
it is possible the files have been corrupted, as OpenOffice would normally open 
these without query.  Another possibility is that they are miss-labeled Excel 
files, stored not in internal xlsx format, but as comma separated files; there 
may be a filter offered for such.

Susen,

.xlsx is a proprietary file format for M$’s spreadsheet program. The easiest 
way I’ve found to deal with them is to convert them to .ods (open document 
spreadsheet format) through the online tool available at 
https://www.zamzar.com/. I believe they will convert five files at a time for 
free.

What file format to use for xlsx file?

2024-01-27 Thread SUSEN KAY
I need to open some xlsx files and I can't figure out what file format to use.
 
I go to "spreadsheet" and then click on my file xlsx to open, but I am then 
asked to pick a file format and none of them seem to work.
 
Can you help me please?

Take care,

Susen
