------- Additional comments from pesce...@openoffice.org Tue Feb 1 23:50:30 +0000 2011 ------- According to a source cited in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_table i.e. http://www.google.com/patents?id=5nsLAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&source=gbs_overview_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q=&f=false (US Patent number US 6,411,313 B1), "The term pivot table is a generic phrase used by multiple vendors. However, Microsoft Corporation has trademarked the specific form PivotTable." Please check whether the name "PivotTable1", "PivotTable2" assigned by default to new Pivot Tables (formerly known as Data Pilots) should be changed to avoid trademark problems. This of course does not affect the new functionality name, only the default name given to Pivot Tables; since it is just a machine name, anything will do, including Pivot1 or PivotTbl1. Filed under Calc, but feel free to reassign as appropriate.
