either. Which is why we're looking for something to let us directly
write the binary file format and OOo seemed liked a good possibility.
Did you thought about jakarta-POI?
Thanks for the pointer. I'll definitely take a look at that as well.
The downside there is that its Java and we're using C++, so we'd need to
do JNI or run a VM process and use RMI or something. Then that also
requires including the Java runtime with our installer. Anyway, worth
looking into and keeping on the list of possibilities.

If I were doing this, to avoid trying to produce a binary file in a
format that is not documented outside of Redmond, I would try producing
a file using the new Office XML format. That might be easier, too.
I didn't think the new format opened in older versions of office. I
don't think we want to require our customers to have Office 2007. Does
OOo support the new format?
