    "Hi David,
 What happens if you just try to open the Excel file with OpenOffice.org
?  That was in response to my email saying

"I am a new user who previously worked with Excel. Is there any way
that I can copy a financial report from Excel into a new
OpenOffice.org Calc sheet?

I tried using copy and paste but that did not work.

I had no luck when I opened Calc and then tried
 File >Open >C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe

That is not possible. I think he meant something quite different:

Instead of opening your Excel spreadsheet in Excel and then tryint to copy and paste to OOo Calc, try to open your Excel spreadsheet directly in OOo Calc. Just open OOo Calc, then File - Open - <Your search path to the Excel spreadsheet>\<Filename>.xls - OK.
