I use Star Office pretty regularly to read and edit such files. Two problems I have noticed are: 1. If you save the xls document with Star Office, you will have random format glitches when you return to Excel. For example, random boxes might be outlined on one or two sides or shaded. These are easily fixed. More troublesome are font incompatibilities, such as I have had with Greek letters. 2. I think Star Office is supposed to be able to convert tab-separated text to spreadsheet format as Excel does. I have so far never accomplished this. Star Office has invariable opened such files as word processor documents. Otherwise, it's very much like using Excel and perfect for viewing Excel-generated documents.

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is an equivalent to 'wordview' which can look at ms excel spreadsheets?
TIA
