More the other way around. Open Office was created as a free alternative to the WIndows office package. It can do pretty much everything the Win Version can including reading/writing Wins files. But Win doesnt do the same back. I think .xls is probably bes for general use (though I hate to say it, I also use OO)

What's really needed right now, as far as modding goes, are all of the image files for the units in the game so that modders have images that can manipulate without having to make them from scratch. Any way you can include
that in your file?

That was already done pretty slickly by a guy using a recorded macro. Theres a thread about it somewhere. He was working to extend it into more than a picture collection by adding in all the description text.
