how to open excel and word files

You can open word/excel files in Libreoffice which is default installed. What else do you need to know?

hi,
that is fine in case if we use the GUI part of ubuntu,
but if use the terminal, and try to open the files with the help of commands, in that case i am concerned.

thanks for your answer :)

if you want to run GUI apps from the terminal that's fine, you can use:

libreoffice filename

and it will open.
