 Open Office and MS Excel - tyro
I managed to solve this myself.

The mystery file would open with MS Excel, but not with OpenOffice calc. My computer was unable to identify what its extension was, even when I unclicked "Hide extensions". The file name was shown as, say, "car4playrocks", and the file type was given as "File."

So I renamed it "car4playrocks.xls", double clicked on it, and OpenOffice calc opened it perfectly. Problem solved.

Of course I'm still mystified.
