What is stc file?

File type category:
Spreadsheet and workbook file

Date updated: October 6, 2026

The STC format is a legacy spreadsheet-template format associated with StarOffice and OpenOffice.org Calc. An STC file can contain a spreadsheet layout, formatting, formulas, and other starting content for new spreadsheets.

OpenOffice.org Calc and its successors use templates to create new spreadsheet documents without changing the original template. Current versions of Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice Calc can generally open these older templates, although newer templates normally use the OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template format.

Support is also available in compatible office software such as NeoOffice, Calligra Suite, Gnumeric, and IBM Lotus Symphony. The format is mainly encountered in older documents; the newer OpenDocument template format is preferred for newly created files.

How to open stc file?

Open the .stc file in Apache OpenOffice Calc or LibreOffice Calc. These applications are available for multiple platforms and can generally open legacy OpenOffice.org and StarOffice templates.

NeoOffice can open the file on macOS. StarOffice, Calligra Suite, Gnumeric, and IBM Lotus Symphony may also open it where their compatibility support is available.

How to convert stc file?

Open the template in OpenOffice.org Calc, Apache OpenOffice Calc, or LibreOffice Calc and use Save As to create an OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template (.ots) file. This is the most suitable conversion when the file must remain a reusable template.

The opened document can also be saved as an OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods) or another spreadsheet format supported by the application. Saving it as a regular spreadsheet preserves the sheet content but not necessarily its template behavior.
