Hi Joshua
I use Microsoft Office. Someone sent me a file with the extention
.ods. Is there anyway of using my Office program to open your ods file?
Not yet.
ods files are OpenDocument spreadsheet files. The OpenDocument formats are
new worldwide standards for saving office documents. They became ISO
standards earlier this year, so it's all quite new. OpenOffice.org and
others are supporting these standards. Microsoft is making addons
available.
There is an addon available for Microsoft Word that will allow you to open
OpenDocument word processing files. It is available from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/odf-converter. An addon for spreadsheets
should be available in the future.
In the meantime, you have two choices:
1. Install OpenOffice.org. It is free of charge, and can happily live
alongside Microsoft Office on your computer. Please ask if you have
questions about this.
2. Contact your friend, and ask them to save the document as an Excel
document and send that to you. The easiest way for them to do that is File
/ Send / Email as Microsoft Excel.
