Use Excel to open or save a worksheet in the OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods) format

When you open or save worksheets in the OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods) format, some formatting might be lost. This is because of the different features and options, such as formatting and tables, that OpenDocument Spreadsheet applications and Excel 2007 support. For more information about the differences between the OpenDocument Spreadsheet format and the Excel 2007 format, see Differences between the OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods) format and the Excel Online (.xlsx) format.
Tip: Before sending a file to someone else, you might want to close the file and open it again to see what it looks like in the OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods) format. To compare the Excel 2007 format of the file with the OpenDocument Spreadsheet format of the file, first save the file in the Excel 2007 format, then open both the Excel 2007 version and the OpenDocument Spreadsheet version and visually inspect the files for differences.
