It might be good to stick to very specific, simple use cases. If Google Docs will export a spreadsheet to the desktop in ODF, clearly that can be used as a source of data for incorporation in another ODF spreadsheet using AOO Calc.
I think that may be good enough to satisfy the case raised by the OP, assuming there are sufficient Google Docs privileges to download the document [;<). If the OP wants to open the document within Google Drive (that is, in the browser only) and move data to a spreadsheet in AOO Calc on the desktop, that is a scraping/clip-board format issue and it might not work for anyone: The browser presentation may simply not have the structure needed for pasting into a desktop spreadsheet. That case could be experimented with, but it is a very different matter than getting ODF out of Google Docs. It is also not-so-much a "round-tripping" case. - Dennis PS: Now that Microsoft SkyDrive supports import/export and in-browser editing of ODF 1.2 documents as well as OOXML documents (as do Office 365/2013 on the desktop and on the Web), there are other interchange cases to explore beyond the Google Docs case. I speculate that there will be extensive document-interchange by SkyDrive real-soon-now. -----Original Message----- From: Joost Andrae [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2012 00:08 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Can Calc read/import data from Google Docs? Hi, It's not the key point if _we_ support a roundtrip but if the other application supports the feature set of AOO in case someone depends on a roundtrip and if an extension supports both APIs. In case of MS Office 365 does an API exist that can be used by opensource applications like AOO? Am 28.09.2012 03:28, schrieb Kevin Grignon: > Joost, > > Interesting. How might we support round trip?
