XLS compare on an OpenOffice created document fails

[Aaron]

Hello,

The Excel comparisons in Beyond Compare require a copy of Excel installed on the machine. Otherwise, you will need to save them as CSV or another delimited style.

We also have some OpenOffice file formats available here:

When trying to compare two XLS files that were created via OpenOffice, it returns two script errors (which displays the same dialog).



A blank XLS file that will also generate the error if you compare it to itself and click past the quick compare.
