Does Open Office contain an spreadsheet that reads files in Excel format? Is Open Office open source?
I ask because I'm using two different Java libraries to read Excel files sent to me by customers:
JExcelAPI
http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi/index.html
Apache POI
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html
But neither of these libraries can handle some of the Excel files I receive. I have no idea why.
OpenOffice has complete documentation of the Excel file format, but what I need are Java libraries, so that my program can convert any Excel spreadsheet to CSV.

What are the differences between Star 5 and 6. For that matter OpenOffice. I use Open and besides formatting issues it crosses very well with Word 2002.

I have found Star/Open Office to be incredibly good at reading and writing all the MS Office formats. On occasions it has done a better job than moving from Office 97 to Office 2K. I have come accross truly complex tables that it did not render correctly, but I guess that was one document in 1,000.

Wow, what a discussion I created.
For the people thinking that StarOffice is changed to OpenOffice. I'm sure that's not true. The thing is as I thought: StarOffice 5.x has released it source. OpenOffice has changed it, to create an own version and that will be OpenOffice. SUN has resently changed the idea of a free Office Suite (5.x was free I thought), StarOffice now is a commercial Office Suite. That will be from version 6.
I still have an important question open:
I'd like to know if there are any books written for people who want to change to StarOffice or OpenOffice from MS Office. Just to help them out with (the less intuitive) new office suite.
After just walking through my most used word-files. I found out I was nesting tables, which isn't supported by Office 97 (maybe 2000 also). I'd like to know if nesting tables is supported by OpenOffice or StarOffice 6.
Has there been any official test where MS Office XP and OpenOffice or StarOffice 6 are compared? I'd like to see the main differences.
Regards,

The OpenOffice Rosetta Stone should answer some of your questions on compatability. According to it, graphic and tables created within tables in OpenOffice did not appear in Word. I didn't read the whole article, but I didn't see any mention of what happens the other way around.

I think that saving and reading the new MS Office format will be done better, because MS Office will be using an open-format (for the change) XML. I hope that (not long after the new MS Office Release) a kind of plugin will be downloadable so that we can read and write for the new format.
