I would think the XML setup of the schedule file should be able to be opened by most current spreadsheet programs (e.g. OpenOffice's).

The format has to match what is already in the schedule files, so no direct saving is possible.

However, it's fairly easy to setup an Excel (or whichever app you're using) a worksheet which will, using simple formulas, convert the basic schedule layout into the format needed by OOTP. Then it's a matter of copying the reformatted data from the worksheet and pasting it into a text file, then saving that file and changing the extension from .txt to .lsdl.
