------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri May 22 13:31:15 +0000 2009 ------- The above won't work for you, since you can enter a fomula before entering the cell value to which it refers, As far as I know the Go-oo (Novell) version of OpenOffice does what you want, converting text into numbers wherever possibly. I find that this makes spreadsheets less usable, not more, but then the choice is yours. Just a word of warning, neither version is Excel compatible. Both will read and write Excel spreadsheets, but you need to be careful since they cannot handle all the Excel content (Active Components, attached scripts etc.) I still do not know why we need to encourage the development of an Excel clone instead of an Excel beater!
