------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Sep 18 09:00:11 +0000 2008 ------- The Australian goverment placed some forms online that can only be used with Excel. Those forms are mandatory for some applications and cannot be replaced with anything else (authorities are instructed to refuse different forms). The guy who coded that stuff (who is paid with taxpayer money) has been very able in making that stuff to work with Excel under Windows and Mac only and he is uncooperative about the issue, basically he did a great job for Microsoft with pubblic money as my client had to install Excel and dismiss OpenOffice. The forms in question can be found at: http://www.abcb.gov.au/go/whatweredoing/workprogram/projectsae/energy/eecalculat ors basically they produces an error box when one try to insert numeric or text value in most of the fields. I tried those Form on a old version of Excel 97 and they works, they do not work in OO 2.0beta (Win), and 2.3 (Linux), and 2.4 (Win) I did not try in 3.0 beta. In my opinion the problem resides in the formatting of the cells probably a special custom format has been attached to the cell in order to mislead OO. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
