Hi,
Follow up on email below. I checked the links described using Firefox
and found they do work! It appears that although OS X supports Open
Office the Safari browser does not, so I sent a message to Apple
about this problem.

Subject: ods spreadsheet link on web opens as text
Hi,
I just provided a few simple OpenOffice budget management
spreadsheets on my website - www.budget-master.com - as a convenience
to others, but when testing them they opened as text, instead of
downloading as spreadsheets like their xls equivalents at the same
location. And I've checked everything and can't find the problem and
need help.
I created the 4 spreadsheets by opening each in OpenOffice then
saving the spreadsheet using the ods extension then tested them to
work fine on my desktop before uploading them to the server.
I'm using OSX Tiger/Safari (w/X11) on a PPC and have no other
problems - OpenOffice and everything else works just fine. I have my
own server (from ipowerweb) that was set by others to use an "WIN XP
Reloaded Compact skin", if that matters. (I'm not really technical -
I just get bye enough to get most things done.)
Thank you for your help, (I read the FAQ's and some messages but
didn't find what I need.)
Diane Richardson
