I agree with what you're saying. However ....I chose not to reinstall MS Office when OpenOffice came with this computer. About the only app that I now use is the Spreadsheet and was surprised that OpenOffice offered in "save" files in a variety of Excel formats.

So I had been saving in Excel 97 when I decided to save CSV in both Excel 97 and ODS and saw a diff of 1 Meg smaller (ODS) and thought I would pass that info on (to other OpenOffice users). Thanks for replying. Always interesting.
