The fact that MSO intentionally breaks ODF is very familiar to many,
perhaps everyone. That is not news.
It does not break ODF. The documents are valid ODF 1.1, at least our
validator [http://tools.services.openoffice.org/odfvalidator/] says
so. The users, who are forced by government or company policy to
produce ODF conform documents, can do this with Excel 2010. Therefore
I guess that there will be an increasing number of Excel-ods documents.
Hmmm. How do you work that one out?
I write an ods-document with Excel 2010 Beta and let the validator
examine it.
Open an ods file using the Sun ODF
plug-in in Excel 2007, everything is OK. Open an ods file natively in
Excel 2007 SP2 with it's alleged ODF compatibility and ALL the formulae
become values only
The start "Open an ods file" is not exact enough. There are Excel-ods
and Calc-ods. Both are valid ODF documents. You can work with
Excel-ods in Excel without problems and you can work with Calc-ods in
Calc without problems. But you get problems in Calc, when you open a
Excel-ods document.
I was talking about Calc ods. Calc ods existed long before any attempt
by MS to replicate it in Office. If you open a Calc ods file in Excel
2007 SP2 IT IS BROKEN. The MS implementation of ODF is broken. If you
use the Sun plug in it is NOT broken.
Ergo - MS broke ODF implementation in Office 2007 deliberately, as I
assume that their developers are not so dense that they couldn't
assimilate the Sun code into Office...
