@ cornouws:

OK, you want a program that does exactly the same as Excel, without doing any
extra click... hmm then I have the prefect solution for you: Excel :-)

Ummm... Have you seen a version of Excel for my Ubuntu distribution?

I've come to the same conclusion you have; if I need Excel, I will have to
switch back to Microsoft. Unlike you, I'm not on a quest for an ivory tower
"perfect spreadsheet" but rather for a program that solves my and my customer's
real-world business problems. I suspect that is why Microsoft still rules the
desktop.

One thing that I don't quite understand is: if OpenOffice really does not even
want to be Excel-compatible, why is there an Excel import filter in the first
place? And why does the ad they insert into the Java JRE installer emphasize
what Microsoft Office compatibility that it can't deliver?
