Sigrid,

  I'll put this in the shell script rather than the default 'soffice' that
seemed to work (it did with OO.o).

If you have them installed using the OS tools, then they should be
available for use with LibO as well. I don't know, what you can try now.
But maybe someone else has an idea.

  Yes, they should all be recognized, but they're not. That's why I ask.
Perhaps someone else can help (off-list will work, too).

Yes, Calc has this ability. The time format should not matter. Can you
check the format of your cells with the times? Or better, the cells, that
will contain your results. The format code should look like this:
[HH]:MM:SS The square brackets around the HH indicate, that you can get
more than 24 hours in total. Subtracting the start time from the end time
should be sufficient.

  When I change the format of the duration cell to time (hh:mm), I now get
the proper value; it was user error on my part.

  The follow up question is how do I multiply the value of this cell by an
hourly rate (cell format numeric) to calculate the amount owed? Calc gets
upset trying to multiply a time (say 06:00) by a currency (say $20.00) to
produce a total currency value of $120.00.

Thanks,

Rich
