Hi Diana (A B): Thank you for your suggestion, but the problem is that the spreadsheet contents into macros with program code in visual basic program languaje. If I try to open it in excel using Wine I can't. And I don't know a way to convert that spreadsheet to open in WPS, because as I understand WPS can't recognize the visual basic language that is into this spreadsheet.
