I have been using OO 3.2 with good success. But upon installing and using  
OO 3.3 I am encountering serious problems. That which I know so far is  that 
OO3.3 Spreadsheet  will not carry out calculations  wherin one or more 
values are obtained via a VLOOKUP.function  Specifically I have several 
spreadsheets that obtain values from another  spreadsheet. E.g. a specific code is:
 
=VLOOKUP($A16;'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/jreyr/My  
Documents/ATTACHE-FINANCE/GJJT last.xls'#$Sheet1.$A$2:$M$27;2;FALSE())
 
Numeric values are returned as text, e.g. '245, and calculations are not  
carried out; Paste Special Numbers returns a blank cell. Calculations are  
carried out OK with OO 3.2. 
 
This situation with OO3.3 is unsatisfactory and is useless to me. Upon  
installing OO3.3, OO 3.2 is gone. Is there a remedy to the VLOOKUP  problem or 
is OO3.2 available? The calculations are carried out daily,  so I am  in 
real trouble with this and urgently await a reply.
