The newer versions export to ods, but when you do a file save as for ods it shows: OpenDocument/OpenOffice_UNFINISHED_(*.ods) so I wondered if it actually works. I created a short xls test sheet, opening in gnumeric, saved as an ods, and opened in OOo 2.4.1 with no problem. I then saved it as an gnumeric (.gnumeric) reopened in gnumeric, resaved and renamed with a .ods extension; the result in attempting to open in OOo or gnumeric is the same: No Zip Trailer when trying to open in gnumeric and garbage when trying to open in OOo. So I rename to .gnumeric and bingo! the file opens. So I rename Sebastián's files to have a .gnumeric extension instead of .ods and they open fine. Odd that gnumeric relies on a filename extension to open one of their own files... seems rather MS'ish. Sebastián: rename your files to have a .gnumeric extension rather than an .ods extention. Reopen in gnumeric and then select File|Save As| and under file type select OpenDocument/OpenOffice_UNFINISHED_(*.ods) The file(s) will be saved as a proper ods file that can be opened in OpenOffice.org (OOo). -- You have been cc'd on this post as you have posted to an open OOo mailing list.
