[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-3765?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=69623#comment-69623 ] 

Michael Stahl commented on OFFICE-3765:
---------------------------------------

schema change could do with some elaboration: it says "add this optional element there", but if i understand it right then the new element needs to be added 3 times inside e.g. number:number-style

the question was raised whether multiple fill-character elements inside one style should be allowed:
* Eike says LibreOffice supports only one fill-character element
* Andreas says Excel ignores everything but the last character if you input multiple characters
