Subject: Re: [office-formula] Portability notes
Eike, The short answer is "no," I intended no change to the way the SC or TC works. I was over reading your response as indicating a fixed choice to include the portability notes as opposed to resolving them on a case by case basis. Time is short and I was reading more into your note that was merited. My apologies. Hope you are having a great day! Patrick PS: I still think the portability notes represent the largest "hill" we have to climb before a final version. ;-) I will see what I can do on those between later today when you upload your version and next Tuesday.
