Double left-click the file.

Open the MyOffice Spreadsheet application and follow the steps below:

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

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

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.

Open a file in .xls format

When you open a file in .xls format, it is automatically converted to .xlsx format. An information bar will be displayed below the Toolbar with an appropriate notification: “Document was automatically converted to a newer format”. Click OK in this line.

To save a file in .xlsx format, follow the steps described in the Save a file section.

Open read-only files

If the Read only property is set for a file by the OS tools, then:

This file is opened in the View mode.

A notification “You can only view this document” is displayed on the Toolbar.

If you work with files using the WebDav protocol, read-only files are opened in the Edit mode.

In the View mode, you cannot make changes to the document or change its formatting. If necessary, you can create a copy of this document that can be edited. To do this, click the Edit a Copy button on the Toolbar.

A copy of the document will open in a new application window. To save the file copy, follow the steps described in the Save a file section.

Open files used by another application or user

If a file is opened for editing in another application or by another user:

This file is opened in the View mode.

A notification “Document is not available for editing because it is in use by another application or user” is displayed on the Toolbar.

The file is opened in the Edit mode if it is opened in another application, but no lock file has been created by that application. For example: a file downloaded from the Internet and opened in Excel in the Protected View mode will open in the Edit mode.

In the View mode, you cannot make changes to the document or change its formatting. To edit a document, make sure the file is not open in another application. If it is open, close it and open it in the MyOffice Spreadsheet application.

If the document is opened by another user, wait for the other user to finish working with the document or create an editable copy of the document:

To check whether another user has finished working with the document or not, click the Check Availability button on the Toolbar. If the work is not completed, the pop-up message “Document is still in use” will be displayed. If the work is completed, the document will switch to the Edit mode.

To create an editable copy of the document, click the Edit a Copy button on the Toolbar. A copy of the document will open in a new application window. To save the file copy, follow the steps described in the Save a file section.
