------- Additional comments from mos...@openoffice.org Fri May 8 15:45:47 +0000 2009 ------- I seem to have hit this bug as well. 1. I started with an Excel 2003 .xls file which included combo boxes. 2. Made extensive modifications including deleting and duplicating sheets. 3. Saved it in OO format. 4. repeat steps 2 and 3 a few times 5. saved it in Excel 97/2000/XP format 6. Opened it in Excel 2003 which resulted in the error described with the same lack of formatting. To debug this I systematically deleted sheets and elements to narrow down where the issue lies. I found that the combo box was an issue. With that knowledge and Google I found this issue was open. My final test after reading this issue, was to start with the step 6 document and just delete out the combo boxes (there were about a dozen). Just that allowed excel to open it. I did an undo of one combobox delete, saved, and excel puked again. Definite confirmation. Unfortunately the nature of the data in this spreadsheet makes it impossible for me to share. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
