Problem description: I use Microsoft 2007 Excel to create a spreeadsheet.  I e-mail to my home.  There on my home computer, the spreadsheet appears correctly.  I do some work and then e-mail back to my office.  When I open up the spreadsheet, the information is present and the columns are correct. HOWEVER, the frozen top row command is turned off and only about 1/4 of the spreadsheet shows.  I cannot get the reduced display to fill the whole Microsoft Excel work space.  The work around was to copy the entire sheet into a brand new Microsoft Excel file.  I have three sheets.  So this was a lot of work.

I had to do some work a second time from the house and the same thing happen again.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a Microsoft Excell spreadsheet.  Mine has over 800 rows and a frozen first row.
2. Work on this file within Libre Spreadsheet.  
3. Open again with Microsoft Excel.

Current behavior:  It appears when Libre Spreadsheet saves the file, it must change the setting.

Expected behavior:  The file should have the same appearance no matter which spreadsheet program that I use to view the information.

Platform (if different than the browser):  My office computer runs Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2007.  My home computer runds Windows XP and the latest LibreOffice (at least within the last few months).  Both compuers are running Microsoft Internet Explore 8.
