I don't think your message subject is correct. Are you saying you can't
open Excel spreadsheets in OpenOffice or OpenOffice in Excel? If you
really meant Excel spreadsheets in Excel, then you've come to the wrong
place.
OpenOffice can read & write Excel spreadsheets, except those in the new
.XLSX format. If you have one of those, arrange to have it saved in the
older .XLS format. If you're creating a spreadsheet in OpenOffice, for
use in Excel, you'll have to select the appropriate format, from the
drop down list, when you use Save as. Also, ensure automatic file name
extension is selected.
By default, OpenOffice saves files in the ISO standard ODF formats,
which Microsoft refuses to support.
