*I* know (and never use anyhing else but OpenDocument).
My customers know (if they listen to me and trust me).
Then again, whether this knowledge has any practical effect or they 
still use XLS[X] is another matter...

Still, besides format wars, we have a serious bug here.
If XLSX is supported, it should work; losing data because it doesn't 
work properly is not a good thing :-(

MSO2013's support of ODS is still far from optimal (this of course falls 
again in their lock in strategy).
Besides there are still many 2010s, 2007s and even some 2003 around.

Thanks anyway.





If I understand it correctly 4.4 is about to be published: I'll try 
whether this bug is gone.

Still, I'm open to reports from other people who might have seen the 
same problem, suggestions where to look and what for, tests to do, etc...
