>From what I understand from my Dad (who is an Engineer with Intel), most, if not

> Actually, I'm doing it as a favor for the senior scientist for our Health
> Group, who I guess is sending some research to Europe, and it's required to
> be in LaTeX format.

> Not to be disrespectful, but why would you want to?
> Cannot both StarOffice & Applixware convert Excel spreadsheets?
> Just curious.
