Do I have the right program?
If you don’t have a program installed on your computer that’s compatible with ODS files, you won’t be able to open one. See if you have one of the most common programs associated with ODS files listed below.
- OpenOffice/StarOffice OpenDocument Spreadsheet (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
- Outlook Express Mailbox
- NCompass Labs Internet Script
What type of file is it?
When you can’t open ODS files, try to figure out the file type. This can help you find the right program to open it. Usually, ODS files are considered Misc Files. However, you can look up the file type to be sure. Start by right-clicking the file icon and clicking “Properties” (“More Info” if you’re on a Mac). Then look for the file type under “Type of File” (“Kind” on a Mac).
Can a developer help?
When you can’t open ODS files, a software developer might be able to help. The developers for the programs mentioned above are as follows:
| Software | Developer |
|---|---|
| OpenOffice/StarOffice OpenDocument Spreadsheet (Sun Microsystems Inc.) | Ver 2 |
| Outlook Express Mailbox | Microsoft Corporation |
| NCompass Labs Internet Script | PC Software Company |
Try contacting one of these developers to find out how you can open your ODS file.
Can I use a universal file viewer?
A universal file viewer is the way to go when you have ODS files that can’t be opened by any other program. Install a universal file viewer like File Magic (Download) and see if it will open your ODS file. Remember that if your file is not compatible, the universal file viewer will only open it in binary format.
