- 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.
- An XLS file is a spreadsheet file created by Microsoft Excel or exported by another spreadsheet program, such as OpenOffice Calc or Apple Numbers. It contains one or more worksheets, which store and display data in a table format. XLS files may also store mathematical functions, charts, styles, and formatting.
