I think, first i need to make open office as default application inplace of Libere.

When you right click on a xls/xlsx/ods file, can you select "openoffice calc" in the 'other applications' list, or can you add "openoffice calc" as additional program, similar to what is shown in http://itsfoss.com/add-application-list-open-applications-ubuntu-1310/ ?

By the way, why are you wanting to use openoffice? The standard office package for Ubuntu nowadays is no more called openoffice, but it is libreoffice now.
