Hi Francis,

thanks very much for checking this. I think I may have been a little hasty  
attributing blame to Excel as it looks like the file might have been  
created by another application such as LibreOffice: the creator app is  
missing in one file's metadata, but I've just received another with the  
same approach that was created by LibreOffice. It it is, therefore, be one  
of the many bugs that LibreOffice has when it comes to styles.

So thanks again and sorry for the noise!

Charlie
