Re: [office-comment] 8.3.1 - why uncapitalized "should" on tablenameswith spaces?

David,

we have already changed that. The current draft (that is available to TC 
members only) forbids apostrophes within table names, and states that 
table names that contain apostrophes have to be qouted if they are 
contained in a cell address list.

Best regards
