I forgot to say another reason why I want this. There's no Spanish version of version 3.0.1 yet, and I need to use it because of some bugfixes (I just can't wait, lol). If I could use the English formulas in any localized version of OOo, I wouldn't have any problem if I use an English version before they release the Spanish langpack.
