Can I open Excel .xlsx files with LibreOffice Calc?

My colleagues have lots of Microsoft spreadsheet documents. I am using LibreOffice 3.5.4.2.

Without changing / converting / renaming / touching the documents at all, is there a way I can open (and hopefully also make changes to) these documents?

Right now it seems I can't open doc's of that type using LibreOffice Calc.

I am in a corporate environment where I am the only Linux user and asking for a company change in procedures is not very practical.

My copy of LibreOffice, version 3.5.0rc3, is capable of opening and saving xlsx files. Presumably any version after that will, and probably some version before. LibreOffice has more community developed plugins in its package, so OpenOffice may not have xlsx capabilities.

Who knows if every weird format will work correctly either.

Ubuntu 12.10 has libreoffice 3.6.2, which really should have the support you need.

Install LibreOffice:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libreoffice
