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

Hi :)
So it's beginning to sound like there might be a problem with the install of LibreOffice rather 
than with the file.  

David, can you re-download a fresh new version of LibreOffice?  Either the stable branch, 3.6.5, 
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86&lang=en-US&version=3.6.5
or the branch with newer features and greater compatibility, the 4.0.0 
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
or the 4.0.1 when that comes out in a few days.  
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan

While waiting for the download, or before starting on that, perhaps just try renaming your "User 
Profile"
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile

Renaming the user profile resets all settings and configurations "back to factory defaults" so that 
usually fixes any weird problems and it's quite quick to try.  

Regards from
Tom :)
