The ability to interface MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a) with OpenOffice Calc is not available with SpreadSheet Link EX.

As a workaround, consider using XLSREAD and XLSWRITE functions to import/export data to/from XLS files on a Linux machine. Please note that these functions will only function in basic mode on a non-Windows machine.

To learn more about XLSREAD and XLSWRITE, please refer to the following links:
