With this patch (thanks Matthew), most simple formulas will display correctly 
when opened in excel. However, functions which expect reference class 
paramerters (eg, ROW() ) will now show #VALUE! in excel. Also, I havent changed 
the Area references (particularly since i figured that code to read value and 
array area tokens did not exist in the first place)... so no guarantees about 
that.  

Over the next few days, i'll work on fixing this. This however also gets us 
into the whole class shift mess, so might take some time. 

Cheers

PS. While i wait for my Excel dev kit  to negotiate its international shipping 
course, can anybody send me a list of expected param types of all excel sheet 
functions .. it does not seem to be documented in the openoffice doc. thanx.
