Hi Anne:

Actually, they were assigned to xls files. That's the point. OOo wasn't
being used, but was just downloaded to my system. The files operated fine as
xls files *until* they were uploaded to Sharepoint, and there is something in
the file that Shareopint doesn't like. Anyway, I fixed the problem for now by
uninstalling OOo. Unless I'm missing something else you are alluding to.

Thanks, Germaine

Germaine, when you installed OO, you checked a box you shouldn't have. Just
re-assign XLS files to Excel.

Hello:

I downloaded OpenOffice and it has taken my xls files hostage. I am trying
to upload existing xls files to Sharepoint, and am getting an OOo error
something like this (An API call existed abnormally). This is an OOo error
although the file is an xls file. Help.

Thanks, Germaine
