As far as I checked with both the files, the placement of lines in different columns happens with the Office 2003 file only when the file is opened in Open Office as tab separated. If the same file is opened without being considered as tab separated (neither by any other delimiter), it shows up similar to how your second file edited with Excel shows up.
I suspect a change in how your file is delimited between the two files and I very much doubt whether this can be considered a bug as it might be a cause of file format change between the two. -- OO calc adds spurious columns to Office 2003 XML files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
