It sounds like Ms. Hill wants to export data from the Base tables into Excel
I found the following by going into Base and Help, entering Exporting in
the Index,and then choosing Databases:
Importing and Exporting Data in Base
An easy method to import and export database tables uses Calc as a
"helper application".
Exporting data from Base
You copy a table from Base to a new Calc sheet, then you can save or
export the data to any file format that Calc supports.
1.Open the database file that contains the database table to be
exported. Click Tables to view the tables, or click Queries to view the
queries.
2.Choose File - New - Spreadsheet.
3.In the Base window, right-click the name of the table to export.
Choose Copy from the context menu.
4.Click cell A1 in the new Calc window, then choose Edit - Paste.
Now you can save or export the data to many file types.
(The file types will include Excel)
I order to import the data back to the database (if that is necessary)
follow the instructions lower on the Help page.

Do you mean the spreadsheet in OpenOffice.org? If so,
you can click on the file type in the "Save as" window
and save the file in a number of Excel formats. The
program will give you a warning about external
formats, but it usually works anyway.

God Afternoon,
I am using the Database function of Open Office and
have created my
database and forms. I want to export the information
into an excel file
so that my counterpart in another state can receive
the excel file and
add her input to it. Is there a way that I can do
this? I searched
around and tried saving the file as a Microsoft word
document and as a
PDf, both of which don't work because it is more
like a picture snapshot
of just a portion of the database (which I have
set-up to look like and
excel spreadsheet).
Please help,
Jennifer
