All right, I can hardly claim to be a spreadsheet expert, but I know
this about Gnumeric and also OOCalc:
In top bar, Format -> Cells -> Text
sets interpretation of selected cells. Like you could select a whole
column and then do this.
There are also more different numeric interpretations than anyone
could possibly explain.
By the way, Lan, your clock is fast. Your message to which I am
replying is time-stamped 3:14pm, and the current time is 3:12pm. You
could call that really fast service.
