Hi Tamara,
You are asking this question on a list for Users of Open Office, as
opposed to righting to the developers of Open office.
Most on here are a friendly bunch, and a few developers do read this list.
In relation to your questions
YES and YES
YES Open Office will read most MS Excel documents, correctly, there are
the odd few, where you have used esoteric filters or self created macros
that Open Office will struggle to display properly. So the motto should
be KISS ( Acronym - Keep It Simple Stupid ) Use the basic features of MS
Excel, and don't use self created macros, and your efforts will be fully
readable, savable and writeable in Open Office.
YES Open Office, is a free download, obviously the developers would like
a donation towards their efforts, but it is not essential. Open Office,
is linked to Sun Micro systems, a well respected commercial
Software/Hardware developer.

Hi!
Our office currently uses Microsoft Excel and we e-mail spreadsheets out to
other people. However, we are coming across the fact that some of the people
do not have Excel. Will your product really allow them to open our
spreadsheets? Is it really a free product?
Thank you,
