Ok, so here in OO 2.3 as well, once I create a table by "linking" to the CSV file I've made in windows, I will get a table which is not fully functional-- just as was the case in OO 2.2 (the table was read-only). And from there, in OO 2.3 as well, in order to get a fully functional table I'll need to create a new table. Given that it will have date fields, will I need to do it via Calc? Or should the Copy Table wizard work?
