Actually not general but very specific.

Yes, various methods have been posted on the forum in the past

Not directly and not for EXL2K, Because Open Office does not (last time I used it) support MS archive documents.

Need to ask IBI about that but unless a very large organization paying a large amount of money requires it. Probabley not. If they ever do it will be a new release feature and not ported back.

It's already a feature request .... but any additional pressure on IBI is welcome!
I have figured a clumsy way to make spreadsheets in Excel 97 work with OpenOffice, but that's it....
