--- Comment #9 from JohnTweed <[email protected]> ---
I suppose the real difference between CALC and Mac's NUMBERS is how the change
in formatting a column works.
When importing into CALC, if the column is made TEXT then no formatting will
change that even if the TEXT is all numerical/time/date.

When importing into NUMBERS, it seems that the column remains TEXT until a
format is changed.  The action of choosing a MM:SS format converts the text
into the correct type, assuming that is a possible conversion.

So NUMBERS seems to post-process the pasted data, whereas CALC tries to
pre-process the pasted data, but with a limited selection of conversion
operations.
