Just a thought

I do not know if Widows 7 has compatibility mode, but if it does, try 
Windows XP compatibility and see if the problem goes away.

On my XP SP3,  LO 3.4.  build 1OOO340m1 (Build:103)  - the same as yours

I saved as .ods, .xls, .xls (95) .xml and .xmlx,

and they all came back perfect

Must be a Windows 7, and an iMac  bug - worth a report.

I have just realised.
When showing negative numbers in Red, you should not prefix the 
number with

the minus sign.
This makes it a double negative, therefore making the number Red 
should be

minus the minus sign.
BTW.  Is that a pun?

I have an iMac, System 10.6.8 and Libre 3.4.1

In Calc I have no problems with red negatives, two decimal places and comma
separated thousands when saved as odf
However, when saved as xls, the red negatives are all black, but the
thousand separator and the two decimals are OK. 
In xml, fods, format, everything works OK.

Hi :)
That sounds like a bug to me
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport

On Ubuntu the LibreOffice 3.3.2 has no trouble.  Can you try the 3.3.3 to see 
if 
you have the same trouble?

Tom,

Yes, it appears to be a bug in 3.4.1. I uninstalled 3.4.1, installed 3.3.3
and the display now works as expected. I will submit a bug report in the
near future. Oh, and for what it is worth, I am running Windows 7 64-bit.

Thank you.

Hi :)
The guide for installing 2 versions of LO on the same machine might need a bit 
of thinking about but it should work
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel
It is possible to buy Dvd versions to avoid having to download and they tend to 
be very reasonably priced
Regards from
Tom :)
