Hi,
I would like to automatically open an html file using Calc.
I do this in Excel by giving the html file an xls extension, and Excel
does all the correct formatting.
In OOO, opening an equivalent xls file (not the same because the Excel
file includes MS xml commands) the column width formatting commands are
ignored.
If the file is opened using File -> Open and then the html filter under
Calc selected, the correct formatting is applied.
Therefore, how do I get OOO to automatically apply that html filter when
opening an xls or htm file?
What version did you try this with? 1.1.x or 1.9.x?
I'm using 1.1.4.
Thanks,
Brian
I would suggest you d/l one of the 2.0 betas and see if the problem is
fixed. If it is not, then we can proceed from them there.
I have a feeling that it won't work as nicely as you want it to because
OOo seems to treat .html files differently depending on the context
under which they are opened or saved (as you have learned.)
But, try it with 2.0 and then if it doesn't work we will see what we can
do from there.
HTH,
