Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MS Excel file macros cause infinite loop of errors

Hi :)
That went really wrong for me when i tried with 4.0.0 but opened fine in 'OpenOffice.org 3.2'.  
Hmmm the OOo 3.2 says it was made by RedHat based on OOo from Sun so that probably really means it 
was Go-oo rather than OOo and Go-oo merged into LibreOffice really early on.  I'm currently on a 
really ancient version of Fedora rather than my usual Ubuntu.  RedHat use Fedora to test out new 
ideas without risking the stability of their main OS. It's quite good fun to use sometimes :)  Many 
people find it stable enough to run as their main OS.  Anyway, point is that the file opens in 3.2 
and that probably means LibreOffice 3.2
Regards from
Tom :)
