------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 10 11:01:44 -0800 2005 ------- When opening an Excel document with an ill-formatted number, OOo 2 silently discards the format, while Excel provides a warning: "File error: Some number formats may have been lost." The warning is helpful is finding the bug. This compatibility is also important because I use OOo to test Excel files I generate with Perl. The file looks fine to me, but Excel users see an error. The invalid format I used was: $"#,##0.00 (A leading quote was missing). This was generated with the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel perl module. Perhaps it's not even possible for files that originate in Excel. Once I corrected the format by adding the leading quote, both Excel and OpenOffice behaved the same in this regard. Mac Excel v.X gave this error. I believe my collaborator was using Windows Excel 2003 when she got the error. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
