Re-reading Chelli's post I realized that we may still be a few weeks aways from a working version.

I have been using gnumeric 1.8.0-1chinook3 fine for a couple of week without problem, and then somehow, the 'cell-format bug' started to show up. I then do the following to get around and has been doing fine, so far.

1) spread sheet created and worked on the N800 does not have the cell format issue.

2) spread sheet that has the cell format issue: transfer the spreadsheet to a PC, read the spreadsheet with the PC desktop version of gnumeric (1.7.12), save it as .gnumeric (NOT EXCEL) and copy back to the N800. This bypass the cell format issue.

I have spreadsheets created/edited on the tablet and PC. As long as I read the spreadsheet on PC Gnumeric and save it as gnumeric format, NOT EXCEL, just before I port it back to the N800, I have NOT seen the cell format issue for several months!


Enjoy,
