Probably didn't go about it the right way, but the document wouldn't open so I broke open the zip archive, extracted the component that was the spreadsheet data and tried to open it in Calc. Would it do it? EVERYTHING I tried just dumped it into Writer. As I say, I was forced to use Excel and save it as an xls to get it back into Calc. imho this is a simple case of fixing OO's attitude of second-guessing the user and thinking it knows best. If I try to open a document using Calc, it is reasonable to assume I want it in Calc, not something else.
