From the message "don't have the program" is may be that you have not
established the associations between file types (the .ext extensions)
and their appropriate programs. If you have OOO installed and
associations in place, the you should open any .xls, .ppt, .doc file by
double clicking on it. If "Help" doesn't clarify how to set up
associations, post again.

Hello,
I was wondering if I could receive tips on how to use open office.
The main purpose I was hoping to use it as is data sheets/cross
referencing. Yet I don't quite know how to identify which one is
such, and all but one file which I've tried to open has been
unsuccessful, while a screen comes up telling me that I don't have
the program to access this file. Then, when going to the referred to
site, I see nothing that I comprehend as what I need. Any tips would
be appreciated. Thankyou.

Asterian:
Unfortunately, I'm not sure exactly what you mean.
Are you familiar with other Office Suites? Open Office is an office
that contains different components. One is a word processor. This is
commonly used to write letters, or resumes, or other documents with
lots of words.
Another component is a spreadsheet. This is commonly used for
statistical or other number data, and can do formulas and graphs, etc.
A third component is a presentation package. This is commonly used to
prepared slides for a presentation using a data projector.
A fourth (and new) component is a database engine to facilitate
creation and managing of databases.
There are other components that also do drawing objects and complex
math formula editor.
I'm not sure how this would fit with what you want: "data sheets/cross
referencing". Could you try to explain more what you want to do.
Also, what types of files (perhaps you could list the extensions) are
you trying to open with OOo? Perhaps you could also list your
operating system and the version of OOo you have.
Please reply only to the list.
