Some clarification on the matter. The file in question has xml content, tags and all. It used to be imported into a calc sheet if one opens it as a html calc document. The calc sheet looked like a normal sheet in an .ods file. Now it opens in something remotely resembling a text table in writer although in the document window it says libreoffice.calc . And acordingly when you try to save it as something else , the save as dialogue doesn't have an option for .ods format. I suppose I should say it opens in calc but doesn't get imported into a spreadsheet format but rather it opens as a xml text table, which is unusable to the purpose of manipulating the data. And besides cannot be saved as a spreadsheet. I would expect if I attempt to open an .html table in calc - the table to get imported into a spreadsheet, and if I attempt to open an .html table in writer - the table to be opened as a text table (document), which is not the case anymore as far as calc is concerned. Apologies for not been clear in the fist place.
