------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 1 10:54:31 -0800 2005 ------- This "bug" is going to end up being a massive public relations problem for OpenOffice.org (which I do not want). I recommend removing support for the XLS format entirely. After all, as fst said in bug 58589, "we are not an Excel clone and will not be !" The current support for XLS is "broken" by any definition. The first time someone blogs or goes to the media with "OpenOffice.org Calc cost me $20,000 USD!!" (as it nearly did for me) nobody will ever trust the software again. You can't earn the trust back once lost. Do what you will with files stored in native OpenOffice.org/OASIS format, but when you open an Excel file, YOU MUST CALCULATE it the SAME as Excel does, other wise the support for Excel files is WORSE THAN NONEXISTENT. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
