Thanks.
That's the native file format that the fcc wants used. But many here don't
have excel.

Marlan,
I opened it using Excel and saved it. The Excel file is attached.

Does anyone have Lotus instead of Excel?
I didn't have any luck getting OpenOffice to open the Lotus file.

Marlon,
You shared with me Forrest Christian's Form 477 feedback that his
installed OpenOffice will not correctly open the Excel spreadsheet.
Would you, Mr. Christian, or another WISP like to test drive the
attached Lotus version, to see if OpenOffice will handle it? And let me
know if it does?
If all WISPs who have Excel (or whose particular OpenOffice installation
can open the Excel spreadsheet) will use the Excel spreadsheet, we
expect to be able to process a reasonably modest number of Lotus files.
(The critical thing, for us to be able to process the completed form, is
that the row/column locations of the data-entry cells don't change.)
In case you forward this note to Mr. Christian and he hasn't already
seen a copy of Form 477 in pdf format, I'm attaching one of those
(watermarked "not for filing").

Marlon,
There is a third. (The following is aimed at the FCC, not you).
We do not have excel. We will not buy Excel. The excel viewer will
not
work to fill out this form. OpenOffice does not open the form
correctly.
Forcing someone to purchase a >$100 Microsoft product to comply with a
government regulation is wrong and we will not do it on principle.
If the FCC would like to provide a .pdf version of the form which we
can
fill out and submit or provide some online way to do so, we will. If
they would like to provide a version which will open in OpenOffice, we
will be more than happy to submit this to them.
Making the assumption that everyone has Excel is totally and
completely
invalid.
