This breaks compatibility between OpenOffice XML and MS Excel itself, as an XML file created by OpenOffice v3 fails to import correctly into Ms Excel 2008 (mac), throwing up an error message and losing all its formulae. I am therefore flagging this a a DEFECT now. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
