In Open Office you can open all these documents, and also save to these 
formats.  Just choose "Save As..." and choose the format you want (XLS or DOC 
or whatever).  So, instead of printing to the format, you save to the format.  
Does that help at all?  I'm trying to figure out what exactly you are using 
this for; sometimes in Linux you need to do things a little bit differently, 
but you can usually get the same end result.
