Assuming that they have the .xls extension and saved as an Excel
97/2000/XP file would cause me to believe that the file translators
stopped working. Is it possible that you installed SO6, then updated to
RH 8.0 which resulted in OO overwriting parts of SO binaries? I think OO
has a setup option to repeat the install to verify (and write if
necessary) the files installed already to 'freshen' the install.

Try to open them with Kspread or Gnumeric (they can open Excel files) as
a test.
