The converter is OpenOffice. Choose "excel" as filetype in its SaveAs menu.
As far as I know there is no easier way, but if you know how to program
OpenOffice macros then it should be pretty painless.
Thanks but the problem is that all of the Open Office applications have been
removed from all our computers as part of our Microsoft Agreement. While it
may be possible to reinstall Open Office, that doesn't solve the problem.
Doing that means that, Open Office must stay installed until everyone is sure
they have converted all their Open Office documents.
I need a way for Excel to open *.sxc files directly.
Harald Staff shared this with us in microsoft.public.excel.misc:
Thing is: OpenOffice will work with Excel.
Excel will not work with OpenOffice.
Excel will not even work with Microsoft Works, go figure.
So yes, OpenOffice is needed, either on every single system or on a
"converting service" computer dedicated for this. What you need does
not exist as far as I know, and someone should have considered before
this brutal change of platform. (IT department engineers, I assume ?

I stumbled upon this thread. My first reaction when reading this:
<unspeakable characters>, indeed Harald. This is what is generally
known as vendor lock-in.
