I've tried selecting the >column and setting the formatting to text but that didn't do it. That's interesting since on my install changing the column to text (on the .csv filter box) worked fine.

Are you on OOo2.0 ?? I'm also using windows, so that can't be it... What is directly after the "=" ?? One thought (if you have control over what creates the .csv file) is making sure that the columns that start with "=" are escaped by having "" around the entire column. /paul On 12/14/05, Jacqueline McNally <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Chuck wrote: > [...] > > Also, I've been told there is also an OOo "users" list.
