If you have Microsoft Excel 2002, 2003, or 2007, then you can
enable it to open OpenOffice files by downloading and installing
the converter from http://odf-converter.sourceforge.net/ . As
with most file conversions, not quite everything converts
perfectly, so you should read the Known Issues page.

MS Office is not co-compatible with all other "office suite" products
in the computing realm, despite some of them feeling the need to be able
to open an MS office suite generated file, even though most do so very
poorly.

You need to open the file in whatever app it was made in, and then see
if that app has an export function to generate a compatible file.
