Some users of Microsoft Excel may be unwilling or unable to receive *.ods files.
(Perhaps their employer does not allow them to install the plug-in.) In this case, you
can save a document as a Excel file (*.xls or *.xlsx).
1) Important—First save your spreadsheet in the file format used by
OpenOffice.org, *.ods. If you do not, any changes you may have made since the
last time you saved it will only appear in the Microsoft Excel version of the
document.
2) Then choose File > Save As.
3) On the Save As dialog (Figure 17), in the File type (or Save as type) drop-
down menu, select the type of Excel format you need. Click Save.

Caution
From this point on, all changes you make to the spreadsheet will occur
only in the Microsoft Excel document. You have changed the name and
file type of your document. If you want to go back to working with the
*.ods version of your spreadsheet, you must open it again.
Tip
To have Calc save documents by default in a Microsoft Excel file format,
go to Tools > Options > Load/Save > General. In the section named
Default file format and ODF settings, under Document type, select
Spreadsheet, then under Always save as, select your preferred file
format.
