Dear all, this is OT but I am not sure where to ask about it:
Usually when we work on web applications and offer user some
spreadsheets for downloading, my primary choice is CSV format. This is
because both Excel and OpenOffice users can open it. Now we need to
generate spreadsheet from the web application that has merged cells in it.
This time CSV format doesn't work, it cannot represent merged cells.
I prefer not to create Excel formats because I don't wish to encourage
use of Excel format. I cannot use ODF because no one can open it (people
use things like Excel 2003). PDF also doesn't work because we need to
allow users to do some calculation based on table sell data. Is there
another format I can offer?
Never treid this but I'd heard good things...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/odf-converter
...in this manner your customers can open ODF files from within MS Office.
I'll give it a shot today when I go to work to see what it does in Office
2003.
Sun also provides an ODF plugin.
