[ANN] XLSX Library ready for a test - Looking for testers

[Richmond Mathewson]

Interestingly enough when I tried this out on my plastic iMac running 
Mac OS 10.7.5 it exported the
.xlsx document, but when I attempted to open it with Excel 2011 I got this:

"Excel could not open myReport.xlsx because some content is unreadable.
Do you want to open and repair this workbook?

"If Excel cannot repair the file, some data may be lost."

I clicked on 'Open and Repair' and got this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<recoveryLog 
xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main"><logFileName>Repair 
Result to myReport 05341.xml</logFileName><summary>Errors were detected 
in file 
'HOME:Users:richmondmathewson:Desktop:myReport.xlsx'</summary><removedRecords 
summary="Following is a list of removed records:"><removedRecord>Removed 
Records: Merge cells from 
/xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml</removedRecord></removedRecords></recoveryLog>

I changed some of the data . . .

Richmond.
