I am not trying to concatenate the data. I just want the date in the first
column left alone and the year in the second to also be left alone.
Also, I was wrong on the input data. The date is not MM/DD format, it's
spelled out, ie: Dec. 04 as in 12/04 (no year given still).
The input data is a wikipedia table and the formatting changes because of a
<div style=> tag.
My real issue, and I'm not 100% on this, is that OOo does not offer an
option to just paste the data sans formatting. The data I am copying is
Edit | Paste Special.
the table here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rampage_killers:_Americas
I've just quickly tried that. It asks for a separator character, and I
said 'tab', which gives a somewhat odd entry layout; but the dates look
correct :-)
(I'm using OOo 3.2/ubuntu 10.04)
