I import my OpenOffice calc files as follows (OOo or Excel won't make any 
difference, the csv-format is the same):

inp <- (scan(file, sep=";", dec=",", list(0,0), skip = 13, nlines = 58)
x <- inp[[1]]; y <- inp [[2]]

sep=";": column separator ;
dec="," decimal separator ,
list(0,0): first two columns
skip: no of lines to skip (these lines contain comments etc.)
nlines=58: 58 lines of values to plot
hth, Richard
