I'm using OpenOffice.org 2.0 and my question is:
opening the attached Excel file with Gnumeric it is correctly formatted as a 
spreadsheet file while OpenOffice.org opens it with Writer instead of Calc.
Any suggestion?

This newsgroup generally strips attachments, as it did in this case, at least as I received your post.

However, merely guessing, your problem might be the extension on your file.

If it is a genuine Excel-format file, it should have the suffix .xls and should then properly open in Calc. If it is instead in some kind of txt format and has an extension such as .TXT which indicates a text format, then it will open in Writer.

To force a text file to be opened in Calc, create a new spreadsheet and use Insert -> Sheet from file... Or change. the extension of the file to .csv.
