| OpenOffice.org Calc Spreadsheet Template Format | N/A | Spreadsheet Files |
The STC file extension stands for OpenOffice.org Calc Template, belonging to the .OTS spreadsheet type format used by Apache OpenOffice, an open-source office suite produced by Apache Software Foundation. The STC template files are commonly used with the Calc spreadsheet program in OpenOffice, similar to the Microsoft Excel .XLT and .XLSM files.
An STC file is generated for any OpenOffice Calc document when "Save as Template..." is selected from the File menu. It contains the formatting and layout of the spreadsheet which appears when a new document is created from that template. It includes colors, fonts, cell properties, default data, hyperlinks, macros and more. Generally, STC files are less than 500KB file size.
Creating an OpenOffice Template
To create an OpenOffice template, open the Calc program from within the application. Create a blank document, add any required formatting and enter default data. To save the template for future use, choose "Save as Template..." from the File menu and give the template a distinctive name (ending with the.stc extension). Once saved, it will appear in the "My Templates" folder and can be loaded and reused whenever necessary.
Similar File Extensions
Other spreadsheet file extensions used with OpenOffice, in addition to STC files, include .XLSX, .XLTM, .ODS, .SXC, .DBF, and .XLSM.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .STC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .STC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .STC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .STC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .STC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .STC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .STC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .STC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .STC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .STC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
