It doesn't happen to all the .xls files, only the ones I have
received.
So probably there is something special in the files, that makes
OOo open
them in writer.
It sometimes happens that files with .xls extension are actually html
or csv files. Such files may be created by some internet download
process. These files are plain text so try and open the problem files
with a simple text editor such as gedit, vi or whatever, and see what
happens - if it is text then report here the first few lines is
enough. Also try rename the file to end with ".csv" and then try to
open in calc.
