Thanks, Crystle; that works well. However, I would think the Help documentation should be updated to indicate that procedure.

I use OpenOffice version 1.1.4 with Microsoft XP-Home on an HP 3200+ with 512 MB. I am trying to open a .csv file in Calc. According to the OpenOffice Help documentation, Calc should invoke the TextImport dialog; however, when I open the file, it appears in the Text Document module rather than Calc and the TextImport dialog never appears. Although I have Excel (97 SR2) I don't want to have to load it into Excel and then save in .xls format, then load it into OpenOffice. That seems to be a very long way around this problem. What then is the simplest way to load the data into OpenOffice Calc?

I find the easiest way is to open a new calc sheet, then do Insert Sheet, select "From File" and follow the importer.
