Try selecting your .txt file as a spreadsheet file. You can find this option by scrolling through the File type list. Look for csv in the description. Out-of-the-box OOo assumes that a .txt file is just that, text and opens it it writer. The other way is to change the extension of your file to .csv which will open directly into Calc. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
