Hi :) +1 to using xls as being most easily compatible with greatest range of Office Suites. Some images and text-boxes are likely to get re-arranged a bit. It's not a great format and there have been security issues with it but at least it can be easily read by older versions of MS Office. To

I would save as XLS since that works when you need it to and the XLSX doesn't. All users of Office 2007 can open XLS files. (The use of Office 2007 to open an ODS from *Office Calc is generally not useful, since Office 2007 loses the formulas.) You might want to ensure that there are no probl

Oh, boy, sad story! LO (and OO before that, too) have troubles if you go over a certain image density (i.e. the ratio of images to text becomes too low). That will make positioning very difficult. I have alo noticed that sometimes the positioning of images does not seem to work as advertise
