Re: [libreoffice-users] Poor formatting and extremely slow performance

Hi :)

It worked fine (ish) in OpenOffice 3.2 in Ubuntu 10.10.  I didn't try with 
Windows.  I'm not sure that helps pin down where the problem is but hopefully it 
might.

It was only about 3 pages long and looked more like the output of a database 
rather than a normal spreadsheet.  I looked up the main website of Crystal 
Reports
http://www.crystalreports.com/

They seem to have a number of ways of contacting using their email form but i 
couldn't get a simple email address.  They only mention MS Office but seem to 
lack the knowledge that an estimated 20% of European systems use 
LibreOffice/OpenOffice.  The UK being seems to be the exception to that tho.

So, one wonders if they know about how 'well' their systems integrate with the 
fastest growing OfficeSuite and if they have any advice to make that integration 
work more smoothly.

Good luck with this!
Regards from
Tom :)

It’s a side effect of how poorly Crystal Reports exports that report as a 
spreadsheet. It was less work for the people at my company to export it as a 
.doc.

I am curious as to why a document which is more a spreadsheet is being edited in 
a word processor. ISTM a word processor is the wrong tool for the job.

My LO Writer/Win XP does seem to struggle with the file, so the problem can 
definitely be replicated.
