[Solved] Problem opening an .sdc file

Post by mwake »

I have an old .sdc file that I'm trying to open. OpenOffice 4.1.1 doesn't seem to work. I get a list of filters to choose from and have tried several, but doesn't work.

Is there a way I can still open this old spreadsheet version?

Thanks

Install some old 2.x or 3.x version of OpenOffice. It installs in parallel to OpenOffice4.

Thanks! I used OO 3 and was able to open the file, and then save to the newer format :)

You should transfer all your .sdc files (even if you think you'll never need them) and move to the new format

I am experiencing this same issue. I am unable to download anything older than 4.0
I am able to open ods files and only a few sdc files, which is odd why I can open some but not others.

All the links under Versions 1.x - 3.x (until 3.4.1) appear to be functional - all are hosted on archive.apache.org
