G'day!
My machine runs W8.1 and has no trouble opening .xslx or .docx files
using AOO 4.1.1. Just checked it again. Perhaps there is something not
related to the different software that is causing the problem?

Problem summary:
I was sent a spreadsheet saved in *.xlsx format, but I do NOT have
Microsoft Excel on my HP machine.
When I attempt to open this file using Open Office, it locks up Open
Office and "pretends" to load the spreadsheet indefinitely
(with CPU resources hogged to the tune of 24% ..... WTF?)
Tried to rename the offending *.xlsx file.... to a different extension,
an "ods" file extension....but my Win7 does not allow me using "save as"
to do this
What is the problem here? And what is the workaround?
I always drag them to the trash and drop them there. Then I ask the sender
to send the files in another format, such as PDF or ODF (usually the sender
doesn't know what ODF is so it usually ends up with a PDF). Solves the
problem for me…
Kind regards
