I also use it regularly and have no shame about sharing them around. Nobody seems afraid to require I get a multi-hundred dollar software package when they send me docx/xslx/pptx, so seems fair to ask they download a free and Free OpenDocument implementation if they can't open it yet.
- kzrdude 4y agoShouldn't Excel open ODS? I thought standards support was a box they ticked for contract reasons
- rbanffy 4y agoThere is very little incentive for Microsoft to make Excel work well with ODS
- trelane 4y agoThere are a number of things that should open at least some versions of OpenDocument files. If they have an issue, the can still get LibreOffice for free. Much better than the reverse situation, especially if they don't send ooxml
