There might be something similar to what you want in the Nautilus scripts section:
Thanks for this. There are some similar scripts (like the avconvert one mentioned elsewhere) and I'm trying to work out enough of how they work to make them do what I want.
The problem I'm having is that these scripts are fairly evolved so quite clever but not very easy to follow as a first step. But using phrases I learnt from this thread (like the fact that I'm interested in "nautilus scripts") has lead me to: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/faq.php and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=768892 .. which are more "How-To"-ish.
Interesting that .doc to .html/.txt/etc seems to be quite a common requirement but .xls to .csv/.ods is "missing". I must have "special needs"!
