I don't know, you should ask IBM the same thing. Deathstar?

Except for some stupid reason Open Office decided to copy MS Office on the one thing that should have been fixed years ago. Only allowing columns to IV and rows to 65536. Seriously at my job I have to create two seperate files if I need more columns than that, export them as text and then combine them into one file.. Pain in the ass, why Open Office couldn't see the need to support more columns and rows, I'd really like to know.
