converting openoffice doc to word doc

[venkman]

Is there a way to convert an openoffice doc to a word doc from the command line?

Openoffice file is .sxw or others and can save as word 6.0, 97 or 2000.
For what purpose do you use command line to convert .sxw to .doc ?

I had saved a file in openoffice format on my home pc and then uploaded it to my work pc. When I got to work, I realized that I didn't have openoffice installed, only ms-word. In the interest of saving corporate bandwidth and laziness, I was trying to figure out a way to convert the file to ms-word without having to download and install openoffice. I had command line acces to my home pc through webadmin, but nothing else (ssh is blocked from work). In the end I gave in, downloaded openoffice, installed it, and used it to convert the file to ms-word doc. I'm still curious if there's a way to do it though.

I think there is none. Open office extension .sxw is a zipped xml file.
