I'm a bit confused by the issue as described. When I open a new Calc file in OOo 3.0, with no special template or formatting, and enter "8.5", it does not get turned into a date, or anything else. It just goes in as 8.5.

Exactly what is interpreted as a date from input to Calc is locale-dependent. The original questioner and you probably have different locale settings.

I trust this helps.
