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.
Not so. It will also accept ".txt".
In the 2.0 Beta (1.9.79) I cannot open a .csv in anything other than Writer. The file was created in the Mail Merge Wizard as a tab delimited file. I open it with the File Open icon, I get the file open dialog, I select files of type Spreadsheet (or Text (.txt, .csv)), It gives me the ASCII Filter Options Dialog showing it is in Unicode, I click OK and it opens in Writer. No way can I get it to open in Calc. Is this a bug? Or just a nuisance 'feature'.
It's a bug related to the fact that the file is Unicode. It works fine for 8-bit codes.
