Hello David, I suppose you meen MS Excel (xls) files, not 'very large' files... OpenOffice.org reads, edits and saves xls files. By default, it uses the ISO-standard ODF format (ods), but you can also use the xls format. OOo doesn't yet recognise xlsx, the new lock-in format from MickeySoft. You can download and install from http://download.openoffice.org/index.html the site should determine the version you need automagically (but you'll have to decide yourself whether you need the Java JRE, or whether it's already installed on your system). HTH -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.3 m221 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo SRC 680 m241 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to users@openoffice.org -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
