I suppose you're right. With some work I could have found a workaround,
and I appreciate your idea. My issue is much more about the way MSO is
set up by default, and changes to that are not especially apparent.
But your point is well taken.

OK, to this and other recent posts, please note that my intent wasn't to
open a rant-fest. I have found myself wondering about the claims about
file structure being a problem even for MSO itself. My original post
was intended to provide one example of a case where Excel saved a

Hello,
I thought I should add to the rant:
If you think Microsoft Excel not being able to import formats it
exports is bad, consider Microsoft's disastrous "OpenXML" standards.
Notice I said standards, not standard. .docx, .pptx, and other files
with x at the end are stored in the Microso

There is some movement to make a "LibreOffice for Android", but there

Hi :)
I think it's probably best to
1. post a bug-report about it and leave it to QA (bug squad) to triage and
2. revert your own system to 4.1.4 or something or install the more
stable-branch alongside the feature-rich branch.
It might take us a while before we respond to something like this on

A quick "back of an envelope" risk-analysis might suggest that
