Timothy: To switch file types in the Mac OS X version of OpenOffice, click on File -> New. You should see a list of the different file types you can create new objects for.
If you want to open an existing Excel spreadsheet, as an example, click on File -> Open. A dialog box will open allowing you to select the file. The appropriate program portion, Calc, will automatically open and display your file. As you are not subscribed to the list, please do so unless you are recieving this list through a news server. Please do post replies to the list and not directly to me. James McKenzie -----Original Message----- >From: "Timothy R.
