Nicolas Daum <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Nicolas Daum <[email protected]> --- Tabs are the most commonly used column delimiters in microcomputers. Most softwares export columnar data in this format by default and with some of them with no other option. OTOH most spreadsheet softwares I've used, either when importing tabbed text files, when pasting or when dragging and dropping tabbed data from another source (a word processor for example), interpret by default tabs as delimiters. I just can't fathom the rationale behind the default option in Calc to paste tabbed data (i.e. copied in Writer) as “text Writer data” with each complete line in one cell. Who the heck needs that in a spreadsheet? It's extremely time consuming. I have lots of .txt tabed data files to import in Calc. I have to copy the data, chose Special Paste, then select Unformated Text and so on. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue. You are on the CC list for the issue.
