I made an Excel document by setting up a LibreOffice Calc document with 9 cells containing data

[ one of these cells contained the word "silly" ]

and saved it in the Excel 2003 XML format.

I imported the XML file as a text file into a field, then ran this script from a button:

on mouseUp
   if fld "sample" contains "silly" then
      put fld "sample" into Ssample
      replace "silly" with "stupid" in Ssample
      put Ssample into fld "processed"
   end if
   open file "sampleMOD.xml"
   write Ssample to file "sampleMOD.xml"
end mouseUp

I then was able to open the exported Excel document in LibreOffice Calc again to find that the cell that had contained the word "silly" now contained the word "stupid".

I am obviously slightly silly, having done that, because I cannot quite understand what the broohaha
is about modifying Excell documentf with Livecode:

seems dead easy to me!
