Some XLS files open as Word documents

mufeedali commented 6 days ago

This issue is unique.

[X] I have used the search tool and did not find an issue describing my bug.

Operating System

Windows 10 / 8.1 / 7

Version information

8.1.0.169

Expected Behavior

The xls file should open as a Spreadsheet.

Actual Behavior

The xls file opens as a Document.

Reproduction Steps

Open certain XLS files.
See it open as a Document rather than a spreadsheet.

Additional information

This doesn't happen with all XLS files, just some. Unfortunately, I cannot share the example file this happens with.

Excel warns me that the file format and extension don't match (which is probably why OnlyOffice opens it as a Word document), but I can force view it in Excel by clicking Yes when it asks if I want to view it anyway. I can't do the same with OnlyOffice. Basically, what I would need would be a way to force the file to open in "Spreadsheet" like Office lets me open in Excel maybe?

Hello! @mufeedali

I have reviewed your issue but unfortunately, I was unable to replicate it.

I kindly request that you provide the XLX file that opens as a document, or inform us how to create such a file.

We recently released a new version of our editor, 8.1.0.169. Please try updating to the latest version and let us know if the problem persists.

Here's an example

The file you attached is an HTML file, as indicated in its metadata.

Since HTML files contain textual information, our editor opens it as a document based on the file's content rather than its extension.

At this time, our spreadsheet editor does not support the conversion of HTML files. This feature is tracked as enhancement #62277.

Thanks for your report!
