Hallo.

I have installed OpenOffice 4.1.0 but the problem still exists.

I attach some screenshots of what happens.




As you can see the values contained in the worksheet are correctly 
displayed in the preview of the File - Open dialog but when I open it they 
disappear.
I guess that the preview of the file is managed by Windows and not by 
OpenOffice itself and this is the reason why the preview shows correctly 
the content.

If I open the file with OpenOffice 3 it shows correctly.

I saw that other users don't have the problem. Could it be a bug of the 
italian version?

It appears to open correctly in my OpenOffice 4.1.0 on Windows XP^H^H 
mumble-mumble. When you say it does not show the cell values, what do 
you mean - that every cell appears empty? Or that something else appears?

Doesn't that at least identify the problem? If what Excel saves can 
be opened but not the original file, then your other program creating 
the file is offering something that can be opened by Microsoft Excel 
but which is not exactly in the correct format for .xls. It's perhaps 
not surprising that OpenOffice might not handle this incorrect file 
correctly. Alternatively, the fact that the copy you attached opens 
satisfactorily for me without ceremony may suggest that re-saving in 
Excel is unnecessary and that merely creating the copy is somehow the 
key. Can you open the copy of the file that will have been returned 
to you from the list with your copy of your own message?

>Any idea about how to solve the problem?

Since I cannot see anything wrong on my system, unfortunately not. 
You could complain to the suppliers of the other program.

I trust this helps.
