Hi Owen,

It is far easier to simply use OpenOffice which is an executable that
will translate to/from Windows Office (any spread sheet, document,
presentation, drawing...). The Open Document format is the mandated
standard of the European Community, if I recall correctly.

Be careful. If any VB type macros are included in Excel Open Office
will barf. Been there done that.
