------- Additional comments from matteosistise...@openoffice.org Thu Oct 28 11:08:45 +0000 2010 ------- EVEN WORSE: I opened one of those XLS files with dates. I MANUALLY selected all cells contained dates and did "format cells" and selected "date" and "31/12/2010". Then I entered some more data into the document and the disastrous spontaneous change didn't happen, even after scrolling, so the workaround seemed to have worked. Then as soon as I SAVED the document, all dates were changed to numbers. There's NO WAY to keep updating an old XLS file generated with a previous version. This makes OpenOffice Calc unusable. I'll look for another spreadsheet program. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
