I am trying to use Calc (v.3.1.0) for a cemetery transcription. I have a "born" column and a "died" column. It would be nice to use a date format for these, but sometimes I only have a year -- not the whole date -- and that makes a mess of things.
The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to change the cell format to just text. No matter what I do, it wants to put a number in there. How do I make OOo understand that, all evidence to the contrary, a "text" cell is really what I want? Or is there some other way I can get it to leave my year-only entries alone? Thanks, Tam (I read the group through the news server -- responses to my email address are thoughtful, but not necessary.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
