That's half of Excel's arbitrary limit! > > They've noted this as a bug since 2001: http://sc.openoffice.org/row-limit.html If I remember correctly this is actually in there for a reason (well, duh). I was reading an interview with one of the developers and it was something to do with backwards compataility with old versions of Excel or something and that it could be changed by altering a #define On the other hand that a) doesn't explain why it's half b) is no fricking use to my Mum who has no clue, nor desire to gain a clue abotu recompiling an entire office suite. I'd guess that it's a #define rather than a variable for speed purposes but, really, doesn't that make it a next to useless feature? Oh, wait, no, that was Gnumeric http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=69979&cid=6369668 ... seems like they're both crap. Simon
