Someone here may know, but you might better try asking on some Gnumeric-related list. Richard ______________ Thanks. ssconvert as of now (version 1.12.31) is already able to extract from an Excel spread sheet tabs per tab name such that, say, ssconvert creates the .tex files with names 'xlsxname__tabname.tex'. To take the next step the question would be: How can lyx be told to import this very .tex file thru the file import handler for external gnumeric/Excel material. In other words: can that be achieved by simply amend ' ssconvert --export-type=Gnumeric_html:latex $$i $$o' or anything else needed here (since the information <xlsname> and <tabname> would be needed separately if I correctly understand the compilation procedures preparing external material)? Any help highly appreciated, where I would like to use lyx to type the document and have it compiled (in contrast to any other solution fiddling around with the files outside of lyx). Many thanks, J.
