Styles issue between WPS Sheets and Excel

[Martin Thornhill]

Styles issue between WPS Sheets and Excel.

To create test:

• in Windows, in Excel, create a spreadsheet with the Excel default style sheet.  Create a back-up copy of this sheet.
• sync to a Linux machine.
• in Linux, in WPS Sheets, open the sheet, edit text in one cell, change no styles. Save the sheet.
• sync to the Windows machine.
• in Windows, open both the WPS-edited sheet and the back-up copy.

Observations:

in Excel, in the WPS-edited sheet, the column headings and base metrics of the normal styles have been replaced by a Chinese serif font metric (this is the normal style that Chinese uses when presenting non-Chinese characters).

Issue:

Why is WPS Sheet hard-re-writing the initial style sheet imported from Excel?  Why can't WPS Sheets just leave the imported style sheet as it was?

The consequence is that the Excel user now needs to re-format/re-apply/re-import styles/data into the shared workbook.
