Re: [libreoffice-users] new version of LO gives gibberish for excel file.

       Have you cleared the cache recently?;
           CCleaner is a handy program to use whenever you shut down your
machine -
               clears the cache of all that built-up junk, which
accumulates;
       so you won't run into these problems where the machine wants to find
a MsFt program which you no longer have on it  ;-)

       You can find CCleaner here http://www.techsupportalert.com/ with
comments on how it operates, etc.
