Created attachment 74092 [details] Excel document causing the problem Problem description: when copying cells from some microsoft excel files using excel all styles are copied across, even though they appear to be unused in the selected cells Steps to reproduce: 1. copy cells in Microsoft Excel from attached document (e.g. cell A1) 2. paste into a new libreoffice document Current behavior: cell is pasted, but a large number of styles are also copied from excel Expected behavior: the cell is pasted and only relevant styles (probably none in this case) are copied across Workaround: open excel file in libreoffice then copy across Workaround2: copy from excel to a new libreoffice document, then copy from there to the real document Additional problem: if you make the mistake of doing this you can unpaste using CTRL+Z, but you cannot remove the styles without deleting each one individually. Tested using 3.5.7.2 and Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 28b7359e00fec9fd3bfab3c9105cf250c4320a2) TinderBox: Win-x86@6, Branch:master, Time: 2013-02-02_00:14:06 Operating System: Windows XP Version: 3.5.7.2 release
I can confirm that with Version 4.0.3.1 (Build ID: a67943cd4d125208f4ea7fa29439551825cfb39) @Win7 x64

From the first workaround I understand that the problem is in the copy operation in MS-Excel. Then why incriminate LibreOffice ? Closing as NotOurBug. Please, feel free to reopen if you disagree. Best regards. JBF
