There have been a couple of enquiries to the Forum in recent days
mentioning a problem with having a leading zero in a number in a Openoffice
Calc document (eg with a mobile telephone number 0 with three digits a

I have been asked for help by a friend who is using a MacBook Pro and
Apache OpenOffice Calc.
It is a problem I have not encountered when using Calc on my various
versions of Windows and versions of OpenOffice so I do not know if it
occurs because a Mac machine is being used.

To add to the usefulness of the above, I have included the Paste Icon on

highlight it there*) The drop down arrow gives a number of options
including Unformatted text. The same icon on the tool bar also helps when
using Calc.
This has happened to me when I have had something already entered in a
