The suggestion to convert automatically any entry like (A:A) to (A1:A65563) is
_not_ a sufficient solution!

If you mean to sum the entire culumn A by using =SUM(A1:A65563) in cell B1, and
extend it to a row below by dragging, the second row cell (B2) will take a value
of "=SUM(A2:A#REF!)", obviously not the desired result (to keep selecting the
entire column).

In addition there is a compatibility problem between old sheets that contain
32000 rows and new sheets that contain 65563 rows.

(A:A) and (A1:A65563) are just not the same, but a very different qualitiy of
information. Up to now, OOo lacks the possibility to express a reference to an
entire column or an entire row.
