I=E2=80=99ve always opened Works spreadsheets OK in Oo but I see from anoth=
er reply that this isn=E2=80=99t always straightforward.
The only issue I=E2=80=99ve had with opening Works files myself is with Wor=
ks database files.  There may be a better way but I found that I had to exp=
ort as .csv and then open the .csv as an Oo spreadsheet.  Apparently the da=
tabase in Works functions very differently from decent databases..
