Description pesceratto 2010-05-26 13:16:15 UTC 
Save a spreadsheet to .xls, with formulas (in cells placed in .xls file format
range - 65.536 rows per 256 columns) pointing to cells out of .xls file format
range => you will get a .xls file with broken links, without any alert.

Possible solution: a messagebox warning the user about what's going to happen,
similarly to the one provided for data in cells out of "65.536 rows per 256
columns" range. Possibly, the messagebox should pop up each time the user tries
to save to .xls, otherwise we could get into the same issue noted here:
