I saved a workbook as an XML spreadsheet in Excel 2003 and a custom property
(named 'abc' with a value of 'def' ) I put in it was saved:

<CustomDocumentProperties xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
<abc dt:dt="string"def</abc
</CustomDocumentProperties

| Hi
| I have an excel workbook that is opened with automation
| Few CustomProperties are added(using worksheet.CustomProperties.add(...)
| The source file is binary excel but I use workbook.saveas... to save it to

|
| Another application open the new workbook(the xml one) and try to read the
| CustomProperties but it seems like there are no CustomProperties, actually

| If I open the file as xml(not with excel) I can't find the
customproperties

| Any idea?
