Thanks Paul, I've looked at the page you've mentioned, and having no programming experience this doesn't seem to be an option.

When 'Save as' the Calc spreadsheet, there does not seem to be an option to save as the native OOo XML format. There are many other formats available (incl. saveing as an Excel 2003 XML file), but no other XML file. Could you or someone else pleaseshed some light on that?

Many thanks!

Many thanks!

I can see two possible options. You can write your own XML export filter for OOo . Some useful advice can be found here : http://xml.openoffice.org/filter/ .

Alternatively you could massage the XML that is created when a calc file is saved in the native OOo XML...

Hello Paul,

The default file format for OpenOffice is in an XML format.  It is
compressed so all you need to do is unzip the *.ods (spreadsheet file)
and in the resulting files you will have a full selection of files.

I created a file temp.ods.

When I unzipped it, I ended up with.

 extracting: mimetype
   creating: Configurations2/statusbar/
  inflating: Configurations2/accelerator/current.xml
   creating: Configurations2/floater/
   creating: Configurations2/popupmenu/
   creating: Configurations2/progressbar/
   creating: Configurations2/menubar/
   creating: Configurations2/toolbar/
   creating: Configurations2/images/Bitmaps/
  inflating: content.xml
  inflating: styles.xml
  inflating: meta.xml
  inflating: Thumbnails/thumbnail.png
  inflating: settings.xml
  inflating: META-INF/manifest.xml

I looked at your example and it looks like you want a csv type of file
that is formated as a very basic XML file.  A macro could be written to
convert a csv file or within OOo itself.  The default OOo XML format has
much more detail within it. I tried the other XML formats and they are all much more complicated for what you want.

Someone may have used a macro like it.

For your information, the Microsoft OOXML is similar to the OpenOffice
XML file format.

I wonder how this add-on deals with formulas or calculated cells.
