OLE Excel requests has to be translated to equivalent API calls of LibreOffice UNO API: VB-script → POC OLE server → LibreOffice UNO API.ĥ.

None of these versions are compatible with each other (i.e., are equivalent). ISO/IEC 29500 Strict / ECMA-376 2nd Edition (read only by MS Office 2010 read / write by MS Office 2013/2016).ISO/IEC 29500 Transitional (read / write by MS Office 2010/2013/2016 and Mac Office 2011).ECMA-376 1st Edition (read / write by MS Office 2007 read only by MS Office 2010/2013).It is also important to more clearly indicate which version of OOXML the statement “.xlsx and.
