Ok. Then we've found a bug in OOo 1.1.2 and earlier on OS X.
The File->Open dialog will *not* let me open a text file in Calc unless I rename it to .csv. Nor wil it let me open the same file in Writer unless I rename it .txt. Never has, for as long as I can remember.
It's a useful way of passing data to and from scripts. If there's a better way, then speak up, but this issue does need to be fixed.

Maybe that's already in the newset version or beta, but since I'm using 1.1.2, I don't see it.
The Open dialog already does that, and has for as long as I remember.
