1) Libroffice is not available for CentOS 5. 

2) *I* don't want to install a 350+meg set of packages for such a simple task. 

3) *I* have no use for Libroffice, OpenOffice, or any variation. Sometimes
   people send me data in the form of xlsx files and all *I* want is the data.
   There is no reason (other than stupidity) for using xlsx and not a plain texty
   CSV file.
   
It looks like my only solution is to delete the xlsx and ask for a CSV file.  
Sigh...
