fst,

I hope I haven't done anything politically correct by reopening this issue--I 
just don't feel your answer 
addressed all the implications of this problem.

So let me be specific.

I work with a LOT of CSV files. These CSV files deal with numbers that have to 
be formatted a certain 
way for upload to a database. 

I use OO.o to create these CSV files and am very happy with the CSV options it 
has. I can change all my 
cells with a value of say 2.0 to be saved as "2.0". The quotation marks around 
them mean "this is a 
string."

The problem is that when I reopen the CSV file that was created by OO.o, the 
"2.0"s get changed to 2. 
Every time I open up the CSV files to do work, I have to reformat the columns 
that ALREADY HAVE THE 
DATA.

Therefore, a user-defined template would not help me in this case. Unless there 
is a way to change the 
"general" format behavior by default, I can't get around this problem.

This isn't an issue about CSV, it's about the General formatting. I didn't mean 
to submit this as a bug, 
but rather an enhancement request, and it appears that Issue tracker won't let 
me change the 
classification of this issue.
