Let's say your file is named "myfile.ods" in your current working directory. Do these shell commands: mkdir myfile_unpacked cd myfile_unpacked unzip ../myfile.ods You will now see several .xml files in the myfile_unpacked folder, and you may edit them. Details about the OpenDocument format are in a book at http://books.evc-cit.info/ -- J. David Eisenberg http://catcode.com/
