Hi Chris, I've attached a couple of documents to the launchpad bug and to this email:
"usg2010 before save.xls" : original excel before being touched by openoffice "usg2010 after save.xls" : excel after being touched by openoffice "usg2010 after save screenshot.jpg" : screenshot displaying result after save "usg2010 before save screenshot formatting.jpg": shows original conditional formatting formula in ms excel before being touched by openoffice "usg2010 after save screenshot formatting.jpg" : shows changed conditional formatting formula in ms excel after document was saved in openoffice The issue is only visible when viewing in ms excel. Not in open office.
