Hi All. I had responded, but failed to reply-all that is usually automatic with mailing lists. In any event it did not happen.

Re: Fwd: Re: [libreoffice-users] new version of LO gives gibberish for excel file.
It all depends on how your mail client (standalone or online) works. When a reply automatically posts to the list, Thunderbird has the standard Reply and Reply All options. If the reply goes to the individual, they change to Reply and Reply List. This strikes me as being the most sensible approach.

Re: [libreoffice-users] new version of LO gives gibberish for excel file.
Hi :) So it's beginning to sound like there might be a problem with the install of LibreOffice rather than with the file. David, can you re-download a fresh new version of LibreOffice? Either the stable branch, 3.6.5, http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86lang=en-USversion=3.6.5 or the branch with newer features and greater compatibility, the 4.0.0 http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ or the 4.0.1 when that comes out in a few days. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan While waiting for the download, or before starting on that, perhaps just try renaming your User Profile https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile Renaming the user profile resets all settings and configurations back to factory defaults so that usually fixes any weird problems and it's quite quick to try.

Re: [libreoffice-users] new version of LO gives gibberish for excel file.
Hi :) All looked fine in Ubuntu 12.04. I might be able to have a look in Xp later. I took a screen-shot of the website to show that looking fine and then the xls download (they called it their Excel version, not sure if that infringes their Eula but there we go) and also their Pdf version. Opening their Pdf in a Pdf reader was fine but opening it in LibreOffice always gives me tooo many options and i never know which to choose. So, the Pdf looked a bit wrong if i opened it in LibreOffice but only because i have no idea what options to choose. Perhaps simialr trouble there so please try the Excel version instead ;) Regards from Tom :) From: Mirosław Zalewski mini...@poczta.onet.pl To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Friday, 1 March 2013, 15:52 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] new version of LO gives gibberish for excel file.

Have you cleared the cache recently?; CCleaner is a handy program to use whenever you shut down your machine - clears the cache of all that built-up junk, which accumulates; so you won't run into these problems where the machine wants to find a MsFt program which you no longer have on it ;-) You can find CCleaner here http://www.techsupportalert.com/ with comments on how it operates, etc. On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 8:18 AM, David B Teague sr davidbtea...@comporium.net wrote: Hi I just downloaded an excel file from http://www.taxpolicycenter.**org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?**Docid=205http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=205 The file is the excel version of Historical Source of Revenue as Share of GDP.
