Hello all,
I'm running an old UNIX legacy system where all the apps are writen in
PROGRESS. Often people want data to put into a spreadsheet, this is
simple if I write the output as a TAB delimited file and call it blah.xls;
then it just opens in their spreadsheet program without any data importing
functions done by the users.
When I try to open these files with OOo2.Calc it just opens as a new plain
text file in Writer instead of as a spreadsheet Calc.
Is there a way to force it to open as a spreadsheet instead?
This is, basically, the only thing keeping me from converting the whole
office to OpenOffice.org.
Thanks for any insight.
Scott:
Is the extension .csv? It is possible Calc is not recognizing it as a
spreadsheet file. If it did, it will probably open it fine. What happens
when you do Insert->Sheet from the Calc menu? This should give you a
wizard to select that it is tab delimited.
You might have to set up a file association so that OOo knows to open it
using calc.
