             Bug #: 45732
           Summary: calc .xls defaults to Excel 5 instead of Office
                    97/2K/XP/2K3, breaks formatting?
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.4.5 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Spreadsheet
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: gilb...@gmail.com


Created attachment 56702
  --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=56702
Broken xls file.

I'm creating calc spreadsheets that are then sent to Office 2KX users.
By default, I send xls files in Office 2K/XP/2K3 format.
Since switching to LO 3.4 xls files are saved, by default, in the Excel 5
format unless I manually select Excel 2K/XP/2K3 by using Save-As.

As far as I can see, Excel 5 format, beyond being incompatible with recent
Microsoft Office releases, also breaks cell formatting.

In the attached each F1-F(hidden)-F2-F3-SUM column group had a 2.0pt border
that separated it from the next column group. Save->Close->Open cycle removes
the borders.
Saving the file as ods solves the problem (Borders are maintained across
Save->Close->Open cycles).
