To reiterate, the priority for calc is improvement in native file format behaviour.

This is an incredible distinction between m$ formats. The undeniable fact is, saving any document in _any_ m$ format maintains the dominance of these formats. > - For MS incompatibility is a feature. > > "Compatibility" can not be a one-way street. > As proposed in previous posts, it should be for LO: import in any format, create only odt/(x)html/pdf etc. formats. > Solution #1: > Send back an xls version of that file and ask them to exchange > spreadsheets in that format. > Better still, send in ods and ask the recipient to use LO. If the suggestion is declined, buy m$o.

Using LO to write m$ formats should be considered invisible usage, of what benefit exactly?). -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
