Hi :) I don't remember there ever being a poll about how the lists work. We were suddenly just told that it would change and asked to give it a fair go and then make comments later. Does anyone know how to set-up a poll? The one on LinuxQuestions seemed to get a lot of votes but it's a bit of a specialist site that Mac and Windows users probably don't go to at all. Also the popular poll was about a contentious issue that gets hotly debated across all different distros. Something about the inner-workings of the LibreOffice community might be a bit outside the box for them. Regards from Tom :)

I had responded, but failed to "reply-all" that is usually automatic with mailing lists. In any event it did not happen. Here is my response, sent to Dries Feys only but intended for all of you kind folks. I installed the MS Excel Viewer, and now the file opens flawlessly. I have NO idea why. With Warmest Regards David Teague Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] new version of LO gives gibberish for excel file. Date: Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:57:16 -0500 From: David B Teague sr <davidbteague@comporium.net> To: Dries Feys <dries.feys@tvh.com> HI Dries, and Stuart, and others: I just tried it again, and it opens "flawlessly" with the latest stable LO Version 3.6.5.2 (Build ID: 5b93205) on my Windows 7, 64 bit system. I wonder what the heck was wrong. The only thing I did in the interim was to fetch the MS Excel Viewer. I wonder if something came with that that enabled LO, a font or something that enabled LO. Many thanks for prompt response. Warmest Regard David Teague On 3/1/2013 9:40 AM, Dries Feys wrote:David, This works just fine with LO 4. Of course, there might be other issues.
