Frequently asked questions
What is an SXC file?
SXC is the native Calc spreadsheet format used by StarOffice 6-7 and OpenOffice.org 1.x between 2002 and 2005 - a ZIP package of XML, the predecessor of today's ODF/ODS.
Why convert CSV to SXC?
Mainly for compatibility with an old StarOffice or OpenOffice.org 1.x installation. For current use,
.ods or .xlsx is the better target.Does converting to SXC make it a real spreadsheet?
Yes - unlike flat CSV text, SXC stores data in cells within a worksheet, so the structure is preserved and it opens as a workbook.
What opens an SXC file today?
LibreOffice opens SXC directly on Windows, Mac and Linux. Since the format is legacy, re-saving to
.ods keeps the data current.
