Which differences exists between the two form files? All the versions of StarOffice, and OpenOffice too, only recognize *. dif. And I want to make a Ldif one...
Thanks for your help

Hello António,

StarOffice calc has no filter to directly import LDAP LDIF files into the
spreadsheet in a way which you would expect. As LDIF is an ASCII based
format you might create a macro which imports LDIF data in a structured
way into the spreadsheet. The DIF file format you mentioned is the Data
Interchange Format which is an ASCII based format but which has no
relation to LDIF.

Kind regards, Joost Andrae

Thank You both ,

I am trying to realize my question. My OS is Win98 SE, and I use the Star Office 6.0. I want to convert a StarCalc file with addresses data in a LDIF one, which could be read by the Address Book for Windows. And it seems a very hard work...
Thank you again.

Hi Antonio

If I understand you correctly all you want to do is have the windows
address book read the addresses in your spreadsheet.

The Windows address book will read the .csv format. That is how I
imported my SO5 address book into Mozilla, via the Windows one.

Without seeing the spreadsheet, I'm not too sure how you will go on with
the "mapping", though.
