Hi， May be Shao Zhi do not clearly state his proposal. Let me try again.
Excel 2007 can define same name for different sheet. When AOO loading a xlsx file which has duplicated defined name, AOO will only change the name. But any other place which uses the defined name is not changed, which will cause problems. We want to do some enhancement. This enhancement will be completed in 2 steps. In step 1, we want to just focus on the interoperability with sheet scoped defined name in Excel. When user open a Excel file which has range based defined name, the duplicated range name will be kept. AOO will use sheet scoped name in prior to workbook scoped name when do calculation. And some indicator is shown in name define dialog. In step 1 we will not modify the ODF file format. When save Excel xls/xlsx file with sheet scoped defined name to ods file, AOO will rename sheet scoped defined name as "sheet_name" plus "defined name", like SheetName_DefinedName. In step 2, we want to support create worksheet scope defined name from GUI. At that time, we will modify ODF file format to save sheet scoped range name in ods. We will refer the file format from LibreOffice if their implementation is in ODF standard or ODF standard candidate.
