in Centos 5.2 I could click on and xls file in thunderbird and it would use oomath to open the file. I could do on the command line "oomath file.xls" and it open the file and show it to me no problem either.

now in 5.3 (x86_64) in either case above I get a "filter selection" screen. Most of the selections are for Word not excel

and if I choose an excel item my oomath opens with a blank page.

Any ideas?

Shouldn't that type of file be opened with Open Office's Spreadsheet Calc?

That's what I always use.

Thanks - I thought oomath was the spreadsheet - no its oocalc.

I yum install the oocalc and it works as it should now.

Great. :-)
