Hi,

I don’t know if I understood the intention the right way, but…
Making some functionality dependant on something like Excel is IMHO a very bad 
idea, because at least in case of Excel you won’t have it available in a Linux 
environment… not to say how bad it IMHO is to make some free and open source SW 
dependant on some commercial SW.


Regards,
Bernhard
