    Linking: Open Office

    Having (with much appreciated help from this forum) solved most of my problems in importing a flat file, I'm thinking about linking to the spreadsheet. I am wondering about compatibility with Open Office. I have Excel, but all my work so far has been done in Open Office. I wonder whether SD will link to an Open Office spreadsheet. Open Office is able to save as .xls, which Excel will open in "Compatibility mode". Or I could copy the data in Open Office and paste it into Excel, but for all I know that might amount to the same thing.

    Does anyone have any experience? I could of course just experiment but since it will involve copy-typing 2,500 product references in order to get them formatted as text, I don't want to go too far down the road if it doesn't lead anywhere.

    See the SD Help for Advanced Details About External Linking.

    In that article the Excel variants supported are: A Microsoft Excel workbook (versions 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 97, 2000 and 2003).
