Well... for first tnx for the response. > Do you mean that they do not appear in the open file dialog ? No. I use the command line to open mi files in the most case. In this case the first command was oocalc Symmetrix_layout.xls and I obtain a blank worksheet without grid. Even in Fedora 4 I was problems (a lot of random crashes) with the distributed version, so I removed and installed the official RPM by openoffice.org After I removed all openoffice by yum remove and installed the 2.0.2 version I had the same behavior An empty spreadsheet without grid. So I removed the 2.0.2 version and I installed the 2.0.1 version, and all works good. I can see all my number and letter in the grid :-) > Are your on disc files using capitals as the extension ? no capitals on the extension > If you do a % file mytestxlsfile.xls, what is the response ?

I hope, but now I solved my problem by downgrading to previous version. I need to work a lot on this spreadsheet, so I think that this is my right direction now. If is possible to have the 2 version installed on the same system, I'm available to make some test. Now I have 2 questions: 1. Is the RPM from openoffice.org 64bit or 32. And it's possible that my 64bit OS (and other packages) is not compatible with 32 bit packages? Is possible to recompile from the source to obtain a 64bit version or is the code that is different? 2. There is a mailing list for OpenOffice.org in which I can discuss about this behavior (I will search also by openoffice.org site and by google). Tnx a lot Ambrogio P.S. If you want to try my xls file ask to me in private.
