How are you trying to convert the Openoffice documents to excel? Are you doing a save as? Are you trying to convert to the Office 2007 format xlsx?

No multi-posting please, I've deleted your other thread.

Honestly, if you need to be fully compatible with your work, just stick to MS Office. As MS Office file formats were closed until recently, some small glitches remain in the import/export filters. Moreover, not all the Excell features are implemented in OOo.
