Sorry the screenshots have been removed automatically to avoid virus payload problems. The issue you talk about may be a problem in either the OOo code or in the Delphi code. Please create the smallest XLS file you can and can you please report this in issuezilla ? ( http://openoffice.org -> "My Pages" -> "Register", then when you receive a confirmation email, "Login" and "File an issue" ) In this way the relevant developers will see your bug report / suggestion and you will also see the progress of this feature / bug report if it is accepted. Obviously attach the example file and mark the issue as a "regression". Since you are moving to OpenOffice.org anyway you may also want to think about moving the file generation to an ODS file directly. It is reasonably easy as you can create the xml files as normal text files. (Unzip an ODS file and examine content.xml ).
