XLSX import/export is a current focus of development for the 1.8
release.  For testing you'll need to follow 1.7.x releases, and for
things like charts svn trunk is required.

On the whole I've been please with 2007.  It has raised the bar.
Still lots of irritations.  Our chart object tree is much easier to
navigate, but they've added some interesting tools.
