If you have Excel 2002, then you could make an XML Spreadsheet

You can use ODF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument, XML-based), Microsoft said it will support the Open Document Format (I don't know the state of this support in nowdays Excel)

If you want a windows solution you could use Active State's Perl. Here is a link to the docs: ActivePerl 5.8 - Online Docs : Using OLE with Perl
You would have to install Active State Perl on your PC and you would have to have Excel available also.

Hello,

I am looking for a OpenOffice soulution.
I have lots of txt/csv files (pipes as columns-separator) and want to convert them to a managementfriendly format -> .ods

Is there a way to do this without manually import in OpenOffice?

Thanks!
