Thanks -- i just installed gnumeric-doc and the warning has gone away +
I have the added bonus that the gnumeric manual is back :)

BTW, I have also just slapped myself about a bit with a wet fish, the
file is in fact loading successfully into gnumeric.

Only problem is it is the initial positioning of the sheet - with Excel
it loads positioned with cell a1 in the top left and b4 selected.

With gnumeric cell bm8 is in the top left.

Afraid I was too stupid to notice this :( + saw the messages gnumeric
was spitting out and jumped to the wrong conclusions).

I've mailed Jody a copy of the file just in case.

Sorry if i've wasted any time.
