Hi :)
I think they fixed the problem in MS Office 2013.  Prior to that for
spreadsheets in ODF formats MS Office would apparently lose the
formula and leave values as a fixed.

Errr, i think there is a lot more there but i only managed to make
sense of the last paragraph.  Hopefully others can help with the rest!
Regards from
Tom :)
