The latest version of the sheet is fully compatible with Open Office; earlier versions had issues. You do need to enable Macros in Open Office to get the most out of the sheet though. Macros can be enabled either by accepting my Self Signed Digital Signature or by creating an exception for the folder you save the sheets in:
Tools -> Options -> Security -> Macro Security (button) -> Trusted Sources (tab) -> Trusted file locations (Add button)

Any field which has a light-grey background can be modified by the user. Any field which has a white or dark-grey background will automatically be filled by the sheet. Some fields become "active," that is they turn grey, based on information you've already added to the sheet (most don't become active until after you've filled in TL and SM; after that Habitat Modules and Weapon Systems won't become active until after you've added Habitat systems or Weapons Batteries to the Ship Systems).
There should be no need to hand-write anything in -- the whole point of the sheet is that it automatically fills in all the relevant details for you.
