Cell format isn't updated on PC1, after shared file saved on PC2

Hello, we use spreadsheets within our team. At the same time many user have to work on the same file. The problem is, if someone update any field and use cell formatting as well, other users can see (after refreshing) only, which fields were updated and what are the new value of them. Unfortunately cell format isn't refreshed. In case we need the updated cell format as well, we have to close the spreadsheet and re-open it. What I've done: PC1 and PC2 have WinXP and OOO310m14 installed. - I opened OOO and created an empty file, then saved it on PC1 (as shared document. FileName="TestFile") - Opened the "TestFile" on PC2 - Updated value of cell 'A1' on PC1 and saved it. (NewValue="This field to be updated".) - Saved the file on PC2 (to see, which cells were updated on PC1). Everything OK, updated cell and the new value is showned on PC2 - As next step I updated both cell value and cell format on PC1 and saved it again. (Text set to bold, colors of text and background set). - Saved file on PC2 (to see, which cells were updated on PC1). Now only the new value appears in the cell, but cell format is the same as earlier (changes are not showned) - I closed and re-opened the file on PC2. Now cell format is changed as would be required without file closing & re-opening.
