Problem summary: I was sent a spreadsheet saved in *.xlsx format, but I do NOT have Microsoft Excel on my HP machine. When I attempt to open this file using Open Office, it locks up Open Office and "pretends" to load the spreadsheet indefinitely (with CPU resources hogged to the tune of 24% ..... WTF?) Tried to rename the offending *.xlsx file.... to a different extension, an "ods" file extension....but my Win7 does not allow me using "save as" to do this
What is the problem here? And what is the workaround? -Stephen Knudsen
