Hi :)
Look i'm sure we are all quite sophisticated MS Office users, as Carl
probably is too. I, for one, have often taught people how to use MSO
and marked exams for ECDL and other training courses. I know for
certain at least 1 other here has too and i'm reasonably certain that

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
specific file

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

True enough. But my point is it's set up to work oddly.
1. The auto-fill and other "aides" in MSO make it much HARDER to

Just a rant here from someone who is reasonably sophisticated at both
LO/OO and MS Office. I've had to use MS Office for work lately, and
I've run into a TON of frustrations. Biggest recent frustrations:
