Blocking FE-Legal, This is trademark problem.
Comment 2 Tom "spot" Callaway 2015-08-06 16:00:48 UTC 
The use of the trademark "excel" is nominative here, since we are using it in a minimal way to describe this applications support and manipulation of the excel file format. Thus, the use is considered fair use and appropriate. Lifting FE-Legal and closing this bug.
