When I open a xl document it comes up as read only. I cannot save any changes to this document i get a cannot save file message. Also if I try to print the file it will not save the document.. All this was working fine last time I used the document. I do my books weekly.

I think this is a disc permission problem as the file permissions are set as read and write.

I would like to split a spreadsheet (ods or xlsx) into multiple csv files, one for each sheet in the spreadsheet.

I would like to do this without launching a graphical app and preferably in a one liner.

Any ideas?

Though the linked duplicate provides a possible solution in one of the answers (not in the accepted one) and was helpful. The solution does not work with ODS files as I requested, and I consider the question to be sufficiently different.

I have an Microsoft Office XML that starts with:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>
<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
 xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
 xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
 xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
 xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

How to convert it to a proper .xls or .ods spreadsheet using command line?

I've got a xls file with exactly 167 images that I must save and post on a website. The sheer number itself is painful, but what complicates things is that you can't directly save images from Calc - you need to copy it to Writer first and then save.

This isn't the way I would like to do things, so is there a way to save all the graphics in the file somehow?
