+Test of spreadsheet external inset in LyX.
+ Spreadsheets (created with Gnumeric, LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org, or Excel)
+ gets converted to .tex with the 
+\family typewriter
+ssconvert
+\family default
+ program that is distributed together with Gnumeric.
+ They are then imported as longtables.
+ As the spreadsheet is 
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+External material
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset

+, any changes to the spreadsheet will be reflected in LyX's output too.
+ Thus, the LyX document is always up to date.
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Section
+How to do it
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Make a spreadsheet.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+In LyX use the menu Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
+File\SpecialChar \menuseparator
+External Material.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+In the dialog, set template to 
+\family sans
+GnumericSpreadsheet
+\family default
+ and select your spreadsheet file.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Section
+Simple examples
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+First, the file 
+\emph on
+sheet.gnumeric, 
+\emph default
+a spreadsheet created with Gnumeric:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+\begin_inset External
+       template GnumericSpreadsheet
+       filename sheet.gnumeric
+
+\end_inset
+
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Then 
+\emph on
+sheet.ods, 
+\emph default
+which was made with OpenOffice.org:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+\begin_inset External
+       template GnumericSpreadsheet
+       filename sheet.ods
+
+\end_inset
+
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Finally 
+\emph on
+sheet.xls 
+\emph default
+which was created with Excel.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+\begin_inset External
+       template GnumericSpreadsheet
+       filename sheet.xls
+
+\end_inset
+
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Section
+Long spreadsheets
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+A multi-page spreadsheet called 
+\emph on
+longsheet.gnumeric
+\emph default
+.
+ Notice that page breaking works fine:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+\begin_inset External
+       template GnumericSpreadsheet
+       filename longsheet.gnumeric
+
+\end_inset
+
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Section
+Necessary software
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+LyX needs the converter program 
+\family typewriter
+ssconvert
+\family default
+ that is distributed with Gnumeric.
+ It is therefore necessary to install Gnumeric, even if other software is
+ used to create and edit the spreadsheets.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Section
+Limitations
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Spreadsheet inclusion have some limitations.
+ I don't know all of them, but have seen problem with this:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Labeling
+\labelwidthstring Wide~spreadsheets
+\noindent
+Wide
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+spreadsheets Unlike long spreadsheets, a spreadsheet wider than the margins
+ doesn't work well.
+ There is no attempt at breaking up such spreadsheets.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Labeling
+\labelwidthstring Wide~spreadsheets
+\noindent
+Some
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+formatting Some types of formatting doesn't work.
+ The red and green texts in the long spreadsheet are underlined.
+ The underlining doesn't show, but the texts is otherwise printed correctly.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+These limitations come from 
+\family typewriter
+ssconvert
+\family default
+.
+ Feature requests for better spreadsheet conversions should therefore go
+ to the Gnumeric developers.
