happypamama Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Sigh. This technology thing is beyond me. Okay, I have OpenOffice on my desktop and use the Calc part of it for spreadsheets frequently, saving them as .xls files. I also have QuickOffice Pro on my iPad. It seems to open and read the OpenOffice Writer files just fine, but it won't open the .xls files from Calc. It looks like I need to convert those files from .xls to .xlsx files. Can anyone tell me how to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-2-7 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Can you just do a "save as" in Open Office? That's how its done in Excel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 I can, but .xlsx isn't one of the options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Well, how very odd. I tried Google Drive, but my internet was being flaky and wouldn't work. But then all of a sudden, Dropbox was able to view the .xls file, and now QuickOffice is opening it too. Happy day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
