But *nobody* can do that in the EDA world. The commercial tools you  
mentioned can only import, not export. And (as an open office user) I  
would not want open office to be a model for gEDA: it copies all of  
the bloat, inflexibility, and bizarre, unpredictable behavior of the  
MS software it replaces. Its *only* advantage is that it's free. But  
gEDA is a superior toolkit.
