Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem importing xls files

I think you will find that a .slk file is a symbolic link file
(equivalent to the linux .lnk) so it won't open directly in Calc. If the
spreadsheet file is at the place where the slk file expects it to be it
should open in Calc. If you deceive it into thinking that the .slk file
is a spreadsheet you should correctly get an error.

Cheers
Harvey
