However it will not run any macros at all and Excel just closes with no errors.
I am trying to get Microsoft excel to work to use SMS (Scout Management System) spreadsheets. This does not work with Libre or Open Office because of the macros. (Which do not work in Wine! aaagh :/)
Hmmm. The original macros don't work in LO. The original macros don't work running under WINE. I have a vague recollection from years ago of a tool that converted Excell macros to ... it was probably StarOffice back then, but who knows. maybe its till around in a later incarnation.? I've just been reading about the US navy paying Microsoft Mucho$$ to keep them running Windows XP. maintaining backward compatibility can be expensive. I dread to think what life is like for the people who are running mission critical s/w on one of the old IBM PC clones from 1982. What happens when that not quite compatible with IBM hardware fails and the program that was written specifically for that hardware just has to keep running or the company goes under? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
