--- Comment #4 from Lyle Blosser <lyleblos...@gmail.com> ---
I search for both the uno. prefixed commands and the plain-text version
(PasteTextImportDialog).  Actually, I just typed "Paste" in the search box and
let the system tell me what commands starting with Paste were available.

Additional finding:

I created a macro that calls the command directly:

Sub PasteTextImportDialog
    Dim frame As Object
    Dim dispatcher As Object

    frame = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
    dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")

    dispatcher.executeDispatch(frame, ".uno:PasteTextImportDialog", "", 0,
Array())
End Sub

This works correctly on my system — the full Text Import dialog opens
immediately, with no intermediate “Unformatted / Text import” prompt.

So the command *does* exist internally and functions as expected.

However, even in Safe Mode, the command is not exposed anywhere in the UI:
- Tools → Customize → Toolbars → Add → All Commands
- Tools → Customize → Menus → Add → All Commands
- Tools → Customize → Keyboard → All Commands

Version: LibreOffice Calc 25.8.4.2 (x86_64), Windows.

Regards,
Lyle
