Hi :)
It is possible to change types of columns, rows, other selected areas or even 
individual cells.  Select area or whatever and then 
Format - Cells - Numbers
Then in the left-hand box select which data-type is most relevant.
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi,
It has nothing to do with formatting. It is all about data types. The leading 
apostrophe tags numeric expressions and formula expressions as literal text. 
This is _exactly_ the same in Lotus 1-2-3, in all versions of Excel and in 
Gnumeric.
You are responsible for the data types. You have to enter/import/paste data as 
numbers or as text. If you import everything as text, the application treats it 
as text.
