Do you mean that they do not appear in the open file dialog ?

Are your on disc files using capitals as the extension ?

If you do a % file mytestxlsfile.xls, what is the response ?

What are the permissions of the problem files $ ls -l /home/myname/*.xls ?

That should help us point you in the right direction..
