Re: [libextractor] I don't see all the same output from extract

[Christian Grothoff]

The output depends on what the specific format is, and on what specific 
metadata was included in the document when it was created.  Not all MS office 
files have all of the possible metadata set, and also our support for the 
various versions of MS office formats can be different.  Also, different 
versions of LE (and the libraries it depends upon) may cause different 
results. 

So you are not using LE wrong, but for XLS files that you create, you may want 
to set additional metadata in the respective dialog for the files.
