Why not use Calc of OpenOffice 2? I have not experienced a great deal of
OpenOffice 2 yet, but I have some experience handling other people's Excel
files in OpenOffice 1. Everything can be imported flawlessly (even in the
antiquated version 1). This includes 3-D figures, complex formulae and
more. I am also very impressed with the ability of OpenOffice 1 to open
PowerPoint presentations that incorporate Office 2003 elements.
SuSE 9.3 and later versions come with OpenOffice 2 albeit a beta version
at times.
Hope it helps and good luck,
Roy
