Hello, sorry, maybe my question is naiv, but I am pre-retired and try hard to work myself into the subject. My problem is: I have started only shortly to use OpenOffice, with good results. But, however, receivers of my spread sheets, I have sent to them by e-mail, are unable to open them when using the 'traditional' software of Microsoft still. What can I or they do to overcome this problem. Should there be a solution, please let me know. Greetings Ulrich Kranzusch
Go To 1. Open the openoffice 2. Tools -> Options 3. Click on General which is under Load/Save Section on left hand bar. 4. You will see Default file format under which, there are 2 pull down menu named "Document Type" and "always saved as" 5. now choose Spreadsheet in "Document Type" and choose Microsoft Excel 97 /2000/XP in "always saved as" now your files will be saved in .xls format. however for old file (file which are already exists), you have to save as in this format. with best wishes balwant
