Hi Jim,

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?The easiest way if you have a text file that won't import into Calc is to go into Windows Explorer and locate the file and change its extension to .csv
Then Calc will most definitely open it.
