Hi Wendell,

You must be using OpenOffice.  I had the same problem.  Al is using
some look up tables that didn't seem to translate quite right.  I
haven't had a chance to look into it.  This is the first Excel
spreadsheet I've seen in a long time that didn't open properly in OO,
and some of them were pretty complex.
