I was sent an Excel file to translate.  Four columns, with instructions to 
'just fill in the English'.  The original was in Czech, probably with MS 
CP-1252.  It got converted safely to HTML and I was able to read it with 
links after loading 8859-2 charset (CLI) and setting links to use that 
charset in Setup.  I then saved formatted version and had some readable 
Czech I could edit with a text editor, but it was a pain to type in 
columns and I had to redo the Czech column narrower to fit it into 80 
columns total.

Is there some linux CLI (or even X) program smaller than StarOffice that 
will deal with Excel files and let you edit and output something that MS 
users can import?    I did not in a quick search find an xl2csv convertor. 
Would sc import csv and let me edit it?
