Univited change to Excel

Post by dschafer1 »

Hello all,
This is my first post. This morning I went to my computer to do some book keeping and found all my saved OpenOffice calc. files had somehow converted to Excel "unlicensed product". I then get a pesky pop-up ad for a Microsoft 365 subscription. To use a file I have to click the "open with" to work the file in OpenOffice, the changes get saved in excel. Is there a way to get/change them back to how they were...an OpenOffice file? All my OpenOffice calc. files changed to that Excel....how that happen? How to fix?

Thanks in advance
Dan S.
