Cannot fix this - root cause seems to be a different font replacement in Excel
and
Calc. Excel does not use a fixed column width internally, but units based on
the
width of the "0" character of the default font. For example, a column width may
be
set to "10 times the width of the character 0".
If the default font ("DejaVu Sans" in our example) is not available on the
system,
another similar font is used. Excel seems to fall back to "Arial", but Calc to
something else, maybe "Verdana" or "Lucida". This results in a slightly wider
"0"
character in Calc, thus in wider columns after import. You can try this in Calc
and
Excel: Insert ten "0" characters into a cell of column B (with leading
apostroph,
'0000000000). In both applications, the last 0 should end on the right border
of the
column.
Seems that the fall back mechanism has been changed in OOo between 2.0.2
and 2.0.3. It should not be a big problem, if the file is exported to Excel
again, the
old original column width of Excel is restored again.
