RE: [libreoffice-users] Compatibility problems between LO Calc and EXCEL 2007 and 2010 (XLSX)

We have mix of Computers with various versions of MS Office (2007 and 2010)
and LO (3.4.2) in our company installed. Now I make some steps, which
eliminate using mix MS Office and LO upon one shared document in workgroup.
So my offer to participate in debugging XML filters on LO is more guided by
own interests than actual company needs....
I know of cource  about option of using XLS file format instead of XLSX....
:-)
We are using LO 3.4.2. on Win XP and Win 7, x86 and x64 variants. Problems
not depend on that however.
So, is any interest in inspecting these files in LO developers comunity?
Or is this mailing list wrong place for that type of problems?

Which version of 3.4 are you using?  3.4.0, 3.4.1, 3.4.2?  It would help 
to know which one you are using and which OS you are using as well.

Any reason that you cannot save these files in .xls instead of .xlsx?  I 
know that Microsoft wants .xlsx as the default format, but .xls is 
"better" in my opinion to use.  Every MS format ending in an "x" should 
be avoided.  Sure, the newest versions of LibreOffice reads and writes 
these "x" formats, but not perfectly.  So see if you can use the non "x" 
formats.

This will, at least, solve part of the problem until you find out what 
is causing your original issues.
