I like LibreOffice v4.2.8 (pt-BR on Linux). It is a good alternative for MS Office.
But whenever I save a spreadsheet as .ods, and then save the same spreadsheet as .xls/xlsx, the difference between these two files is very big. The same spreadsheet as ODS is 4,5x bigger than itself as XLS:
- spreadsheet.ods (31,7kb);
- spreadsheet.xls (7kb);
Why is LibreOffice ODS format so big?
[Edit]
I read the answer with the doc/docx/odt comparison, that by the way, it’s a great research.
Therefore, I can conclude:
After all, using ODS format, rather than XLS (saved as LO) is not feasible, knowing that it will take up more space on my HDD (31,7KB as ODS vs 7KB as XLS)… Isn’t it?
