Re: [802SEC] New and Improved Sponsor Ballot Comment Spreadsheet in myProject

Geoff
The original request was to allow MS Excel.  We just tested and OO does 
not work properly.  I will discuss with the developers to determine if 
this is something that is an easy fix or if we need to develop a new OO 
formatted form.

Christina-

Thanks for doing this, REALLY !!
One question:
What are the various spreadsheets/versions that this has been/(will be) 
tested against?
The one(s) that I am particularly interested in is:
     OpenOffice 3.4.0 running on a MAC
     (I believe that Dr. Gilb runs OOo on a PC)

Thanks again,

         Geoff Thompson
