Clemare:

You were probably using the Novell build of OO2.4 which did throw an error if
text is included in a calculation. But be aware that we do not all agree with
you. IMHO text should be treated as zero and not an error

e.g. 1 + "not sure what number here" + 1 = 2 not error

A side effect of this is 1 + "1" + 1 = 2 which could also be classed as correct
since "1" is text and not a number, however I agree that this might confuse the
user.

One possible option would be to flag cells which contain text, which could be
interpreted as a number.

e.g red flag - comment, green flag = formula, blue flag = text number
