OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template (OTS) files are template files used for creating spreadsheet documents using the OpenDocument format. OTS files contain a pre-defined set of data and styles that can be used to quickly create a spreadsheet, such as a price list or accounting ledger. The OTS format is supported by many spreadsheet programs, including OpenOffice, LibreOffice, and Microsoft Office.
