Hi :)
Quite!  

Some could view it as a marketing ploy to push people into using their format.  i can image the 
calls telling users they need to avoid 3rd party formats as though 3rd party is somehow dodgy 
rather than just meaning that MS can't manage to write code to support their own format let alone 
other organisations.  

However, now they seem to have been pushed into properly supporting the right format rather than 
just "paying lip service"
Regards from 
Tom :)

Yes, that problem was only in 2010 and 2007 and was due to their pathetic attempts to use the 
older ODT (well specifically ods) format that no-one else was using much at that time because we 
had all moved on to the newer version.  Their 2013 and 365 uses the newer format so they don't 
suffer from that issue (apparently)

Except, other apps using the older spec didn't do that.  It was an Excel
only feature.
