Does the Official 6.1 update fix Excel bugs?

I have a question for those of you who have installed the official 6.1 update: Does it fix the Excel bugs where the viewing zoom level of a document and the sheet you're on are not saved (or read back)?

As a little background for anyone who may not be familiar with the issues, Pocket Excel had the following two bugs (possibly among others) introduced in WM 6.0:

1) If you change the zoom level at which you're viewing a document and close it, it reverts back to the default 100% zoom level when you open it again.

2) If you add additional sheets to your Excel workbook and close it, the document always comes back with the first sheet as the current sheet when you open it again.

Both of these were things that were remembered and restored correctly in the versions of Pocket Excel in WM 5.0 and earlier...

So, my question is, has anyone with the 6.1 official update tried any of these in Excel since the upgrade? Are these bugs still there?

And if no one had tried these so far, could someone with the upgrade please spend 30 seconds to test these out for me and let me know? (Just start a new Excel document, add a second sheet, change the zoom level, close while you're on the second sheet and reopen. Are you still on the second sheet? Is the zoom level where you left it?)

Thanks to anyone who can help...

I tested both these issues.

1. It comes back to default 100% zoom.
2. It comes back to 1st sheet.

Guess they didn't fix it? I'll gladly post pics if you need them.

I guess that goes to show just how much "love and attention" Microsoft has put into this update...

Many thanks for the info! That's all I needed to know. (No 6.1 for me!)
