I've noticed some oddities with colored borders, but Excel can screw them up all by itself.

At work when I first started working here every computer had Microsoft Office but since then the IT people decided OpenOffice was a better selection and it saved the company money. It was a great idea that has worked for us.

A while ago I remember excel not being as polished as it is today for graphs and data manipulation, so maybe oo will follow. As oo seems to be right in the shadow (and a little of the light) of MS; I am sure they will.

Also... not being able to add individual data labels. Sucks.

referring to Rob Bovey's XY Chart Labeler, a free and absolutely must have add-in available from http://www.appspro.com. The Chart Labeler adds an item at the bottom of Excel's Tools menu.
