Hello! Can Excel open a spreadsheet from a recent version of Open Office? I'm thinking of buying a subscription to Microsoft's Office 365, and want to know about it's ability to open files from Open Office. (For the past year or so, I've been using Open Office.) My Open Office spreadsheets don't have any math formulas, they just contain story outlines for novels.
