You probably can open it in Google Docs as well, just upload.
A little useless trivia -- The sxw file is from StarOffice and earlier versions of OpenOffice. The current version of the ODF spec saved by OpenOffice (and its clone LibreOffice) uses extension .odt for Writer/text, and .ods for Calc/spreadsheet files. It's worth noting StarOffice/OpenOffice/LibreOffice can output a document directly to a PDF file.
