If you are using a version of windows, do a search for
setup_guide.pdf. Page 27 of that file contains an explanation on how to
set or reset file associations. Please follow the directions on that
page to make your changes. (This requires Acrobat Reader to open this
*.pdf file.)
As far as the Excel files, formulas in Excel are slightly different
from those in Calc (OOo's spreadsheet). That is why your formulas do
not display the results. If you check Help on the specific formulas in
your spreadsheet, you should find a way to make the modifications
needed to make the formulas work in OOo. If not, please ask for help
with the specific formulas in the Excel file.
