Hi,
I noticed today that gnumeric (version I don't know because the About entry of the help menu does not work) is not able to open MS excel files . In the help menu it is sait however that it is possible. And I used to do it when I was using ubuntu. The extension is not even in the file extension list in the file type combobox of the open menu.
Please do not tell me it is the strict obedience to the GPL that forbid this (MS excel file format is non free I guess).
The reason I want to use it is that it manages the deviation bars much better that OOo calc...
Any help appreciated.
