Famous last words: "It should work" :) Okay, I've just tested with two very simple files at the command line. LibreOffice fails to write any output file at all. Apparently this is a common problem. Bing finds [1], but ask.libreoffice.org is down. Here is the transcript for a simple Writer file containing only the word "test": $ soffice --headless --convert-to html --outdir /home/dlm/Documents/orgtests/ /home/dlm/Documents/orgtests/html-table-test-word.odt $ ls ht* html-table.html html-table.ods html-table.org~ html-table.html~ html-table.org html-table-test-word.odt Anyway, I'm not convinced that org-odt-convert would meet my needs anyway. It will have to be a multi-worksheet file, and I'll have to extract just one or two of the worksheets. The macro might be the way to go. hjh [1] http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/2641/convert-to-command-line-parameter/
