my Jubula GUI test opens an Excel file. Can Jubula control an Excel file? Like for instance saving it or checking values in particular cells of the worksheet?

To work with external data (like Excel) in Jubula tests you have to write an extension. Be advised that dealing with Excel from a Java program is not for the faint of heart.

isnt there a way to add the Jubula plug in to for instance Open Office and control the Open Office GUI in the same way as other GUI programs? Would it be possible for instance to GUI test Open Office with Jubula?

I have no idea which GUI toolkit is used for Open Office. If it's among the toolkits supported by Jubula give it a try. You may recheck the list of toolkits with tomorrows new release.

I added the jubula plug-in to c:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice.org 3\Basis\program\classes\ and the config info for the plug-in to fundamentalbasis.ini in c:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice.org 3\Basis\program\

This seemed to be a logical place to add the plug-in. But trying to start Open Office from Jubula, I get the following error message:

c:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice.org 3\Basis\program\en_US does not exist.

There wasn't such a file in my other application which was able to use Jubula successfully. What is this en_US?

The plug-in is intended for Eclipse RCP applications. I'm quite sure OO isn't one.

After some google-ing I found that OO probably uses its own GUI toolkit called "Visual Class Library" or VCL for short. This looks like an abstract GUI toolkit written in C++. It is definitely not supported by Jubula.
