[Solved] Calc spreadsheet opens to OpenOffice Writer
[Solved] Calc spreadsheet opens to OpenOffice Writer
My recent spreadsheet is not opening properly. Openoffice changed the spreadsheet to openoffice writer. My computer did not crash and is not corrupted. I have tried recovery and nothing seems to work. All other openoffice .ods (spreadsheet and writer) open fine. How do I get the spreadsheet to revert back to a spreadsheet? I have read the other posts pertaining to this problem and there seems to be no answer why this happens and the one posted solution does not help me.

This can happen if there is a program or computer crash. If there is no such event, it may be caused by overhasty power off of computer or closure of a laptop lid before the internal write buffers of the hard disk have written to disk. After closing OpenOffice, just wait a few seconds until disk activity has stopped; use those seconds to pick up your pens and papers and stow them in your bag, then shut down computer.markay wrote:How does this happen?
