I normally use Fedora linux and I download (.XLS) share tables from a financial newspaper here in Oz. Yesterday I inadvertently clicked on the wrong table by accident and tried to open it. Calc locked up! No problem with the files I normally look at, Calc opened them fine. So I tried again today and waited for an error - "LibreOffice 4.0.1.2 General input/output error". So I hopped over to the windows PC and tried LO portable. Same error. The error was repeated whether I tried to open directly from the website or if I saved to disk and then attempted to open the file. MS Excel has no problems. The file in question is accessible using this link: http://www.afr.com/share_tables/ Just click on the xls link next to "Warrant Market" Any comments? Cheers
Hi Tim, Since you use Fedora Linux, maybe you can try gnumeric as a temporary alternative. Hope it helps and regards, Michael -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
