To open a file, use one of the following methods:

If MyOffice Spreadsheet is selected as the default application to open files of the appropriate format, double-click the file with the left mouse button. Some Linux operating systems require a single left-click to open a file.

Right-click the file. When working in Windows, run Open with context menu option and select the MyOffice Spreadsheet application in the opened list of applications. When working in Linux, run the Open in MyOffice Spreadsheet / Open with MyOffice Spreadsheet context menu option.

1.In the File menu, select Open or press Ctrl+O.

2.In the File manager window that appears, select the desired file and click Open.

Open MyOffice Spreadsheet and drag the document or its shortcut from the operating system file manager window to the open application window. You can open up to 32 files at a time by dragging and dropping them into the application window.

The document will open on the sheet on which the last data save before closing was made. If this sheet has been renamed or deleted in another application, the document opens on the first sheet.
