An OO import filter is hard work for the smart, I'm told,
not being one
of those.  An XSL transform to a file format scalc
understands (try
CSV, it's simple) is not so bad.

BTW, what you have is the xml put out by a MS SQL Server
data base. 
You shouldn't get the idea that all xml is so complex.  The
complexity
comes more from data base issues than from the content.

Good Luck,
Gannon
