What is an SXC file?
The SXC (StarOffice Calc) format is a legacy XML-based spreadsheet file developed by Sun Microsystems for the StarOffice suite (versions 5.2 through 7.0). It acts as the technical predecessor to the modern OpenDocument (ODS) standard. The format utilizes ZIP compression to encapsulate XML data describing cell values, formulas, and formatting. While largely obsolete following the standardization of ODF in 2005, SXC remains significant in the history of open-source office software development.
How to open an SXC file
Modern native OS support for SXC is non-existent without third-party tools. The most reliable software for opening SXC files is LibreOffice Calc or Apache OpenOffice, both of which maintain backward compatibility with legacy StarOffice formats. Microsoft Excel does not support SXC natively and requires file conversion prior to access.

What is an XLTX file?
The XLTX format is the standard, macro-free template file for Microsoft Excel 2007 and later, adhering to the ISO/IEC 29500 OOXML standard. It uses a ZIP-compressed directory of XML text files to define spreadsheet layouts, styles, and formulas. Unlike XLTM, the XLTX specification explicitly forbids the storage of VBA code, ensuring that templates remain secure and free of macro-based viruses when distributed across enterprise networks.
How to open an XLTX file
XLTX files open natively in Microsoft Excel 2007 and newer on Windows and macOS. When opened, the software creates a new, untitled workbook based on the template rather than editing the XLTX file directly. Compatibility extends to LibreOffice Calc, Apache OpenOffice, and PlanMaker, allowing for cross-platform template usage without requiring the Microsoft Office suite.
