Re: [office-comment] NUMBERTEXT/MONEYTEXT proposal for OpenFormula

[robert_weir@us.ibm.com]

Hello László,

Thank you for contributing this proposal to the ODF TC.  We will take a 
look at it and let you know if we have any questions.  Note that we have a 
number of other issues we are working on at the present, so it may be 
several weeks before you here more from us on this. 

Regards,

Rob Weir
Co-Chair OASIS ODF TC
