Apparently it works on Debian; I seem to recall that I'd tried this (using alien to convert of course) and it didn't work and screwed up OOo (original). I probably didn't copy to the directories as listed in these instructions... I'll have to give it a try. It still doesn't solve the OP's original problem as he's looking to convert xlsx files rather than Word files. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
