Thanks for pointing me towards the XSLT files. We use Apache Cocoon to power our web site so I am very familiar with XSLT. I will share anything worthwhile with the OO community.

You can easily get your own XML from ODS files, but you may want to customize if by using XSLT. There are examples of using XSLT in OpenOffice.org/share//xslt/export/spreadsheetml/. They may be a bit advanced for you, but they do indeed allow very flexible exportation (and importation) of XML data. -- CPH : openoffice.org contributor Maybe your question has been answered already? http://user-faq.openoffice.org/#FAQ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
