Re: [libreoffice-users] .xlsx libre issue

Hi :)
Possibly the best way to deal with the whole issue is to open the file in MS 
Office 2007 or 2010 on a Windows machine.  I think their MS Office for Mac 2008 
is really based on their 2003 release not their 2007 one.  I think they did add 
the infamous ribbon rather than normal menus but it's still using 2003 
underneath.  I could be wrong as my memory is a bit vague about it.  


Use their "Save As ..." to save to Ods format.  Then it should open in 
LibreOffice with no problems.  MS Office uses the older Ods format, version 
1.0/1.1 instead of 1.2 but LibreOffice has no trouble with that.  Alternatively 
use "Save As ..." to save in "Excel (97/2000/Xp)" format so that it save as the 
xls without the X at the end.  Again LibreOffice has almost no trouble with 
that.  I don't know why MS couldn't use the newer ODF formats, it's not as 
though they were hidden or any more difficult to implement.  


Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] .xlsx libre issue

I have a .xlsx file which once had 9 tabs, that, after a save in libre 3.3.3 ... 
now it seems to have one.  needless to say, the formatting is jacked up too.  
i've tried opening in ms/ms for mac 2008/google docs ..etc.

It is also protected by an nda agreement so, i should not really send a copy.  
any known cure?
