Description Laurent Balland 2018-02-18 18:45:04 UTC
Description:
Name of sheets have the same limitation in ODS than with other formats

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double click on sheet tab
2. Hit Help button
3. Hit "Renaming Sheets" link at the end

Actual Results:  
Help page:
https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Renaming_Sheets
Two things which are not exact:
- limitation of name is the same whatever file format chosen
- max number of sheet is higher than 256

Expected Results:
Replace:
"Sheet names can contain almost any character. Some naming restrictions apply when you want to save the spreadsheet to Microsoft Excel format.

When saving to Microsoft Excel format, the following characters are not allowed in sheet names:"

With:
"Sheet names can contain almost any character. Some naming restrictions apply, the following characters are not allowed in sheet names:"

Increase max number of sheets to 1024 according to:

Hi Laurent, Jean-Luc,

Reproduced with
LO 6.0.1.1 (x64) Build ID: 60bfb1526849283ce2491346ed2aa51c465abfe6
Threads CPU : 2; OS : Windows 6.1; UI Render : par défaut; 
Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR); Calc: CL
and previous versions.

Sheets Max number was given in LO 3.5 release notes (10000)
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.5
but can be hardly reached and remains theoretical.
