Thanks Jay and Brad. I'll raise a bug report
Ironically that site has language along the lines of "you will need MS
Excel to open these files". I was going to write to correct them on
this. Best keep my mouth shut now :(
Cheers

Hi, before I log this as a bug I would like to know whether anyone
has seen it before/potential fix identified.
I normally use Fedora linux and I download (.XLS) share tables from a
financial newspaper here in Oz. Yesterday I inadvertently clicked on
the wrong table by accident and tried to open it. Calc locked up! No
problem with the files I normally look at, Calc opened them fine.
So I tried again today and waited for an error - "LibreOffice 4.0.1.2
General input/output error". So I hopped over to the windows PC and
tried LO portable. Same error. The error was repeated whether I tried
to open directly from the website or if I saved to disk and then
attempted to open the file. MS Excel has no problems.
The file in question is accessible using this link:
http://www.afr.com/share_tables/
Just click on the xls link next to "Warrant Market"
Any comments?
Cheers
I confirm it does not open with LO 4.0.1.2 (Linux Mint Maya 64). Also,
Calligra Sheets had problems. And it opened (I think correctly) with
Gnumeric - the version from the Ubuntu Precise repository.
