Any time you move a spreadsheet between programs using a non-native format--for example, reading an Excel file into StarOffice--check the spreadsheet to see how well the conversion worked.
Although we've had good luck with the Excel filter in StarOffice (which is recommended for almost all spreadsheet exchanges), you might have problems with some features.
Caution - In all spreadsheet programs, some conversion filters work better than others. Importing one type of file might work well, whereas importing another type might leave a spreadsheet full of errors. Check any important areas after importing a spreadsheet. |
Table 5.3 lists some things that you can check to see how converted spreadsheets have fared, in addition to listing some problems that you might encounter after importing and exporting files.
