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 <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Friday, 1 March 2013, 15:52 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] new version of LO gives gibberish for excel >file. > >On 01/03/2013 at 15:18, David B Teague sr <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I just downloaded an excel file from >> http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=205 >> The file is the excel version of Historical Source of Revenue as Share >> of GDP. >> The newest, recommended version of LO opens the file as gibberish: >> LibreOffice Version 3.6.5.2 (Build ID: 5b93205) >> >> My system runs Windows 7, 64 bit, AMD quad core, 4 GB RAM. >> >> Can anyone explain or help me fix this? > >This file looks rather fine in LO 3.6.5.2 on Debian testing, amd64.
