I am forwarding this message to the list with the attachment. The
attachment opens perfectly in Quattro Pro X4 on the Windows 7 machine.
I am normally working with PCLINUXOS and OO version 3.2.1. (On a
different desktop.) As you can see, there are extra cells shown above the
normal display, and bold lines on the last two columns to the right at
the top of the spreadsheet. This always happens when I receive this
semi-monthly schedule. I don't know what generated the file, but the
odds are excellent that it was a Microsoft product. I must assume that
this is a bug, and I forward it to you for your attention and cure, if
possible.
PS: I wish OO hadn't decided to try and emulate M/S. Corel products
are much nicer. If I could have Word Perfect here, I would! I would
cheerfully buy it.

Snipped unneeded text.
Just tried the file with several programs, under Ubuntu 10.10 and Win7.
LibO, OOo, Gnumeric, and Zoho web service all show the same thing, 6
empty rows at the top and the borders under the heading of the last two
columns.
The strange thing is that the above is also shown in Excel under Win7.
To me there does not seem to be any problem with the way the sheet is
displayed on the non-MS programs.
I would also suggest that phone numbers be removed from such files
before sending them to a mailing list or forum.
@Doug, please do not reply direct. Reply only to the mailing list.
