[Qgis-user] How do I georeference an xls file opened in QGIS 2.0

[Brent Wood]

I can open an XLS file OK, using vector dialogue, change file type to all, choose an xls file (created by Open Office) & I can open it & view the attribute table fine.

What I'm unable to do is tell QGIS which columns to use for the lat/lon columns (each row represents a point). I can do this if I save the xls as a csv & open the delimited text file, but is there any way to do this natively with the xls file? I don't want to store a QGIS csv version of every spreadsheet....
