------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 25 12:43:59 -0700 2006 ------- Hi. Please ... - open the atttached text file (copy_paste.csv) in a text editor - select the whole content - copy to clipboard - open a blank spreadsheet in OOo Calc - paste into Calc: Note that the leading zeros are vanished. This is because there is now way to tell Calc to treat the second column as text. In MS Excel a symbol appears after pasting where the user can select a text import wizard where the columns can be set to text format. OOo Calc also has such a wizard, but it is used only when opening the csv-file. This means that such code is already in Calc. So it should not be a big effort to allow using this wizard also when pasting from clipboard! I don't want you to adopt this strange icon of MS Excel where the user can select format after pasting. There I tink OOo's concept of the drop-down paste-button is more intuitive. I think in Calc this wizard should be accessible by a checkbox named "Use text import wizard" or similar in the "Paste Special"-window that can be accessed from the "Edit"-menu. I really think that this is a useful enhancement that should be not too much work to implement. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
