Except that here you only say that it *appears* to be running.
An instance of gnumeric is currently running. If you upgrade
now, it may no longer be able to save its data.

Isn't that "MS Excel 95/97/2000/XP (.xls)"?
Excel is a (R)egistered trademark (not just a TM), but so are
StarOffice, Lotus 1-2-3 etcetera, and we're under no obligation to
flag trademarks anyway.

I don't believe in "Character Separated". RFC4180 insists that .csv
means "Comma-Separated", and the only cover-term I've encountered
before is "Delimiter-Separated Values"... Ah, reading
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/doc I see that it can export
to either .csv or .tsv, so we should say "Comma- or Tab-Separated".

Lotus 1-2-3.

MS Multiplan SYLK (.slk).

WordPerfect family "PlanPerfect".

Corel's Quattro Pro, with two Ts and an ®... say:

Clearer as "XSpread or SC".

Can't this sort of advert be left to the metapackages? Besides,
GNOME isn't a set of apps that I might run under twm, it's a project
to produce a complete free desktop environment. So I've just thrown
the paragraph out. Alternatively I suppose it could say:
Gnumeric depends heavily on GNOME libraries, but can also be used from
other desktop environments.

Indeed, why not just say "needed by gnumeric"?

Nasty quotes and clashing determiners.
This package provides the user manual in GNOME Help (DocBook XML) format.
(There's nothing entitled "Gnumeric's User Manual".)

Say "require packages additional to those..."
