[Qgis-user] new xytools plugin: now open and save simple Excel files

[Andreas Neumann]

 Well - as I understand Python-Uno it means that OpenOffice needs to be 
 installed on the same machine.

 So a plugin supporting that must test if OpenOffice is installed on the 
 machine - otherwise it would not work.

 The xls import/export that Richard and others used works without 
 MS-Office installed.

 That is the main difference. I agree that it would also be nice to have 
 OpenOffice support. For my organization it it is not necessary (they all 
 use MS-Office - we are trapped with all sorts of other software packages 
 built around MS-Office). But for others is may be of interest.
