Open XLO File

The .XLO file format can seem complex at first glance, but with a little bit of knowledge and help from the right software, managing these files can become easy and quick. An XLO file extension is usually linked with Microsoft Excel and functions as a spreadsheet created by it. However, it's important to remember that not all files with an XLO extension may not be Excel spreadsheets, as this extension can also be associated with other functions.

As an Excel Spreadsheet File

Many XLO files are Excel Open XML Spreadsheet Template files, which are used by Microsoft Excel, a spreadsheet program. To open such files, you will typically need Microsoft Excel, which can be found here. However, you can also use other programs compatible with this file format, like LibreOffice Calc or OpenOffice Calc.

XLO as a Game File

Interestingly, in some cases, the .XLO extension may be associated with game files. For instance, it is used by XOFT Spy Vs. Spy to indicate a level object file - a map file, to be more specific. To open XLO files of this type, you'll need the XOFT Spy Vs. Spy game software which, unfortunately, might not be easily available as it was a part of an older gaming system.

Beyond Excel spreadsheet templates and game level object files, there could be other uses for the XLO extension that you might encounter. However, given that these are not as common or well-documented as the above examples, you would need to refer to the specific software documentation or help resources associated with the files to understand how to use or open them.
