  • 1.  case-sensitivity of the names of spreadsheet tables

    Posted 07-26-2012 20:56
    Hi, It seems that most (all?) spreadsheet implementations supporting ODF restrict the names of the various tables (sheets) in a spreadsheet document to be distinct under case-insensitive comparison, ie. you can not have 2 sheets (tables) called "Sheet1" and "sheet1". I can't find any statement in ODF1.2 that requires that. Is there such a statement? Andreas -- Andreas J.
