Hi :)
So it meant that instead of discovering a bug with LibreOffice it was
a discovered problem with the 3rd party's website and their strange
way of setting up their downloads.
The question was whether reporting a bug against LibreOffice might
improve LibreOffice's handling of Xls files but the answer to that is
just "No" and that solves the problem.

Tom :)
IMHO it not necessarily a bug but certainly a feature request.
Because I can open the downloaded xls and csv file with gnumeric without
problem, maybe something in LibreOffice is needed to be checked.

Michael

It was not a matter of preferences. It was because calc could not
open a
.XLS file. On further investigation it was found that it is not an XLS
file hence the problem

Is there a reason why the .xls file version is preferred to the .csv
version from the afr.com site?

Hi, before I log this as a bug I would like to know whether anyone
has seen it before/potential fix identified.
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
