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
