Hi Kohei,

Well, we're talking of a company, I don't use it personally. 
Often a one step action is preferred over a more than one step action. (If it were te be removed, I would get a question to write a macro to combine the steps to one action (press a toolbar button which invokes the macro). That could be a solution for our specific company.)
And often the argument is that they were used to do it in a certain way with Excel; this argument is _not_ a strong one for me.

> Now, it's important to point out that ODF specifies the content of a document, not the features of an application that produces it.  It's easy to be ODF complient without implementing this specific "feature" (by handling it during load and save).  Let's not confuse this point.

Clear.
