I make a lot of use of tables, even though my various documents are

Tables in text documents are a useful but probably under-appreciated
technique for formatting, even for material that you wouldn't consider a table.
Something that trips me up from time to time is the effect '+' has
in a table i.e. it turns it into a sort of basic spreadsheet.
That is by design, of course.
Is there a way of formating the table, or a more local control, that
will allow the use of '+' purely as an alphanumeric letter/symbol ?
o Select a cell, a range of cells, or the entire table.
o Go to Table | Number Format... and set the format to Text.
You can also disable the facility entirely by removing the tick from
Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Writer | Table | Input in Tables |
Number recognition.
I trust this helps.
