Excel not reading Open Office Spreadsheet

Someone sent me an Open Office spreadsheet attachment. Apparantly, Excel should open it?? All I'm getting are the symbols.


Any suggestions? (other than downloading Open Office which I have no interest in)

 

Didn't work. It still gives me the Microsoft Excel warning that "This text is not in recognizable format."

Thanks for trying, Lev.

 

Sent. Not confidential at all...just a my daughter's dance recital makeup instructions. LOL

Thanks!

 

Weird.

Ok...sent again.

 

Ugh. "Server maintainence".

I'll try later. That's a good link to have though.

Thanks again!

 

Actually I think the file must be corrupted.

The link Lev sent 'successfully' converted it, but I'm still getting the unreadable error that just brings up the unreadable symbols.

I'll ask her to resend and see if she can save it as an excel file.

Thanks to both of you for trying.

 

Follow up email from the person:

"Sorry about that file. I will resend a new one later tonight in the correct format. My apologies."rolleyes

 

She resent it after she converted it herself. She must have had numerous email replies.

Thanks again for trying, Lev. I appreciate it.
