Have you cleared the cache recently?; CCleaner is a handy program to use whenever you shut down your machine - clears the cache of all that built-up junk, which accumulates; so you won't run into these problems where the machine wants to find a MsFt program which you no longer have on it ;-)
You can find CCleaner here http://www.techsupportalert.com/ with comments on how it operates, etc. On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 8:18 AM, David B Teague sr < davidbtea...@comporium.net> wrote: Hi > I just downloaded an excel file from > http://www.taxpolicycenter.**org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?**Docid=205<http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=205> > The file is the excel version of Historical Source of Revenue as Share of > GDP. > The newest, recommended version of LO opens the file as gibberish: > LibreOffice Version 3.6.5.2 (Build ID: 5b93205) > > My system runs Windows 7, 64 bit, AMD quad core, 4 GB RAM. > > Can anyone explain or help me fix this? > > A workaround is to fetch MS' Excel Viewer, then copy from that to a table > in Writer for my document, but I would prefer to use LO for as nearly > everything as possible. > > Warmest Regards > David Teague > -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
