You can also import files in MS formats into Calc. Keep in mind that
when converting between open (LO) and closed file formats (MS Excel)
that there could be some inconsistencies, depending on what features are
used. It's never happened to me that i recall, but i have simple needs
and limited usage. Point being, that it's safest to just use the open
formats, when possible. Keep copies of the originals, etc.

also, she might could install libreoffice on her mac. I don't know
anything about that though.
