If not, I will give it a try. > I've got a nice book about Excel 97, and they detail > the Excel file format. Actually I have a plan to do Excel export filter. I have even already restructured Excel import filter (not in CVS), in an attempt to follow Apache POIFS HSSF architecture. Problem is that I do lack of time to do that in the near future (and RTF filter seems more important for me, I desperately need it right now). Feel free to contact me directly or just discuss in this mailing-list about various issue regarding the filter development. > Is there any legal issue in writting an export filter > for Excel? AFAICS, no problem. Both Gnumeric and StarOffice have Excel exporter and they're just fine till now :-P > I will probably need some help once in a while as I've > never worked on a filter... That's why I subscribed to > this list. Is that appropriate? Yes, feel free to post any question you have. -- :: a r i y a h i d a y a t :: KDE Developer, ariya@kde.org Get KOffice 1.2: http://www.koffice.org/releases/1.2-release.phtml _______________________________________________ koffice-devel mailing list koffice-devel@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
