What is an OTS file?
An OTS file is a spreadsheet template created by the Calc program included in Apache OpenOffice (formerly OpenOffice.org). It contains a spreadsheet saved in OASIS' OpenDocument XML-based formatting. Calc users create OTS files to replicate spreadsheets with the same styles and formatting as .ODS files .
More Information
Calc is one of several programs available in the OpenOffice suite. It is similar to the Excel program available in the Microsoft Office suite. OTS templates may store various types of spreadsheets, such as invoices, budget planners, and calendars.
In Calc, you can create your own templates with custom spreadsheet layouts, data, fonts, and styles. You can also download templates from the OpenOffice website by selecting and then clicking "Get more templates online...".
NOTE: The Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) maintains the OpenDocument standard.
