Note that this is the key issue: you need to use File - Open within Calc, not from Writer or from the generic splash screen. Otherwise (unless you select the filter properly in the long drop-down) the file will open in Writer as Linda reports.
Sorry, but may I suggest that this betrays a misunderstanding of how OpenOffice works? Unlike, say, Microsoft Office, OpenOffice is an integrated suite and you are never exactly "within Calc" or coming "from Writer". As far as the behaviour of File | Open... is concerned, it is entirely unaffected by whether you happen to have a text document or a spreadsheet document open (or another type, or none of these) when you invoke it. The "key issues" here are the extension to the file name, the actual contents of the file, and the "Files of type" selection in the Open dialogue.
Some behaviour does depend on context, of course - and this may include what type of document you have in focus. This includes the section in which the help system opens as well as the sections available in Tools | Options. But opening document files is independent of any other document(s) you may have open at the time.
