             Bug #: 119230
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Importing a .csv file inserts a single quote at the
                    beginning of currency cells
    Classification: Application
           Product: Spreadsheet
           Version: OOo 3.3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: open-import
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


My .csv file contains cells that look like this: -$97.00 and $137.00. The
import process inserts a single quote (') as the first character of such cells,
so they look like this: '-$97.00 and '$137.00. 

If you test the first cell (as in =if(A1>0;... where A1 contains '-$97.00), the
condition evaluates to TRUE even though the value appears to be negative
(unless you look at the cell contents carefully.

This problem would merely be irritating except that Find and Replace will not
find the leading '.

Regards.
