Hi Cor,

I am not convinced that we are talking about the same thing. So let me as you
this:

1) Copy the following lines and paste them into a text editor. Then copy the
same lines from the text editor. (If you copy/paste directly from a web page it
will behave differently, but that is a different issue).

DDDDu 4
DDDUD 27
DDDUU 10
DDDUd 36
DDDUu 16
DDDdD 26

2) Paste into a new worksheet in Calc.

Calc immediately pops up a modal panel labeled Text Import. 

3) On that panel select "Space" as a separator. Now in the field display you
will see two columns. The first containing text strings and the second
containing numbers.

4) Click on the header for the first column. The column type pulldown will say
"Standard"

5) Select "Text" from the pulldown.

6) Hit OK to import the data into the spreadsheet.



So, my question is this: What is the expected behavior of my having selected
"Text" from the pulldown? I have been laboring under the assumption that making
that choice tells calc that those are "Text" cells. If that is not the case,
then I do not understand what the purpose of that "column type" pulldown is.
