Re: [libreoffice-users] Can't open .xls files in LibreOffice 4.4 calc

Hi,

same problem for me...Fedora 21 and LO4.4.1

However, LO4.2.0.4 on XP manages to open the file with no problems. I 
don't know whether 4.2 will perform the same feat on Linux.

If I save with 4.2.0.4 on XP I can open with 4.4.1 on Fedora. With the 
extension unchanged.

A bit of a convoluted answer but a few options anyway :)

Cheers
