Ok,
fist, I use 1.1.3 on a debian testing.
standard procedure used to be: copy data from a text-like output (readonly) and insert the data into a spreadsheet by "Bearbeiten" (edit) -> insert Data -> unformatted text-> unicode, tabulator delimited (I think in english)
data like 7.8 will be recognised as  01.07.80
I am aware, that I could paste the data into vi, replace all points by commata, paste into Starcalc.... But these autoformats affect other things, too: like gene-names or abbreviations. As user from older versions (from SO 4.1 on), I always simply ticked "Autoformat off" and was ahead of the guys struggling with MSOffice.
I can't find the checkbox!
And, when I open old datasets, my data will be converted, too, and I am not able to find out, how I can restore them! Because: selecting "format->cell->user-defined" will not give 7.8 again, but 29403.
???
thanx, Heinrich
