------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Feb 23 09:46:46 -0800 2006 ------- If you try to open some XLS files created in Excel 2003 format (the files are plain XML files with 3 more bytes before first tag - EF BB BF) the suite will open them in Writer or open them in Calc with the tab separated filter dialog. The problem seamn to be inside the component that decide who will open the document because opening the same file with scalc.exe -o filename.xls will work opening the XLS file without problems (only if you have JRE installed - it seamns that this format is parsed by a filter writen in java) I would put a P5 on it but some will yell. I think that is maybe the most important bug of 2.0 release. Just wonder how hot are support lines with users calling that they received a XLS document that is no longer opening and the previous version 1.x work just working. I think that this sould be fixed before 2.0.2 release. One workaround with no visible effects was to change the association from soffice.exe to scalc.exe for xls files like below: [code] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\OpenOffice.org.xls\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\OpenOffice.org 2.0\\program\\scalc.exe\" -o \"%1\"" [/code] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
