Vim and gedit

["tinguely@artification.com" <tinguely@artification.com>]

Hello the list,
   I did a speadsheet with OpenOffice2.calc and save it as ods. When I 
try to open it with vim or gedit I see special signs. Is the ods format 
not a text format ? How can I read an ods file within gedit or vim?

Best regards.
