Description dchallet 2003-12-09 21:43:51 UTC 
wordtogo 6, a word processor for palm OS5, has problems loading .xls file produced by 
openoffice 1.1: the number format is interpreted as date by wordtogo, whereas it is set to 
generic in openoffice. 
 
Excel opens fine the same document 
 
Why does it concern openoffice? Because the same file saved with Excel opens perfectly 
fine with wordtogo.

Comment 4 dchallet 2003-12-10 10:14:50 UTC 
This issue does not seem to be related: all the other ones concern the conversion from 
.xls produced by OO to the proprietary format that was the only one readable by 
wordtogo. The new 6.0 version is able to load and save native Excel .xls files, which is 
great since I use linux. 
 
My only problem is this number format. Interestingly, it also happens if I create the file 
with gnumeric.
