ODS:Additional data labels appear in the chart

2010-06-08T05:49:23Z

on conversion of an ODS file with charts to XLSX, additional data labels appear in Excel 2010 file only.
This does not happen when the converted file is opened in Office 2007. Reason being, after conversion, all the data label options are checked in the converted file when opened with office 2010.
The issue is handled in case of charts with no data labels in ODS files. But, if the input file has even a single data label option checked(chosen), the output file would contain all the data label options checked depending on the type of chart.

Example:
In Word 2007 text having the color set to automatic will be rendered white on a red (#c00000) background.
In OpenOffice.org 3.0 text having the color set to automatic will be rendered black on a red (#c00000) background.

PPTX-ODF Conformance1.1-Info-anim:par and anim:xxxx ignored

2009-01-28T05:22:04Z

The validator gives the following information while validating the converted ODP files.
"Info-anim:par and anim:xxxx ignored Content Proceed".
In this case, anim:par and other anim:xxxx tags are necessary for feature custom animation and slide transition and these can't ignored so every file having custom animation and slide transition will get the same info while validating thru ODF 1.1 validator tool
There is no fix to remove this info, however, the validator gives a "File Valid" message even if the info is present.
