Dear Jack: No, that can't be right, because the 2008-9 versions of those files were created as copies of the now crippled ones & they all have an 'ods' extension. It was the act of putting the 2007-8 originals into a New Folder which suddenly turned them into something unopenable. (Excel was deleted from my system long ago). There must be some way of rescuing this material. TS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack D. Lewis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Can I update my problem very precisely? I have some files with the extensions '.xlsm' & '.xlsm.xlsm', which refuse to open. I converted them from OOCalc ages ago & worked on them happily in Calc. I then shunted them into one New Folder. When I go to that Folder, I find these strange extensions. How can I reconvert them, please? T.M. Steel


Thomas,
You said that you converted them from OOCalc. Since the .xslm file extension is associated with Excel 2007, I don't believe you were working on them in OOCalc. More likely you were working on them in Excel. OOCalc can not open files of that type.
