>From the Help for ISEVEN in Calc:
"The functions whose names end with _ADD return the same results as the 
corresponding Microsoft Excel functions. Use the functions without _ADD to get 
results based on international standards. For example, the WEEKNUM function 
calculates the week number of a given date based on international standard ISO 
6801, while WEEKNUM_ADD returns the same week number as Microsoft Excel."

It's not very well worded, but what I think it means is that someone at OOo 
thought that the MS function ISEVEN did not do the job it should have. They 
implemented Calc ISEVEN 'properly', and provided ISEVEN_ADD to mimic what 
Excel does.
So you should be comparing Calc ISEVEN_ADD with MS ISEVEN.

Hope that is clearer, and thanks.

This has arisen because I am revising the Help wording. It's a bit glaring 
when every other Calc IS.. function returns TRUE or FALSE. Specifically the 
formula =ISLOGICAL(ISEVEN_ADD(...)) returns FALSE - but =ISLOGICAL(ISEVEN
(...)) returns TRUE.
