Ken, An emacs macro did the job after I stripped off all spreadsheet-specific characters. I don't need it as a spreadsheet but as a text file that can be reformatted for insertion into a database table. I thought it would be quicker to translate it to LO format then export as a .csv file. Perhaps so, but now the job's done. :-) Thanks, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
