------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Oct 5 08:35:23 +0000 2008 ------- I think there is a fallacy in the thinking; it ignores the real-world workflow that you will often see. The number of people who get a wrong result in Excel is going to be minuscule, because just like regular software projects, people do test spreadsheets. In the business world, spreadsheets are designed in Excel. They are tested in Excel. Then they are distributed to the sales force, who fills them out - in Excel. The spreadsheet designers put strings into formulas - it's rarely the end user who accidentally adds quotes when entering values. Because all the testing happens in Excel, you won't see a problem. Then they are sent out to me. Who opens it in OpenOffice - and gets a wrong result. And "movement towards a resolution..." - well, when after 6.5 years there are STILL people arguing that Excel compatibility doesn't matter, I'm not as optimistic as you are. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
