Thank you. I will do that. Before posting I queried the message archives. I will check the FAQ space also.

Wow. The vast majority of people have the opposite problem : they cannot understand why a csv file with the extension TXT is not opened in Calc. I think that the OOo developers in trying to help them have hindered you. I think that the behaviour of "Insert" -> "File" should indeed be to insert the file (if possible) into the current document as you expect and since this works in OOo 1.x I would consider this a regression for 2.0.1. Can you please report this in issuezilla ? ( http://openoffice.org -> "My Pages" -> "Register", then when you receive a confirmation email, "Login" and "File an issue" ) In this way the relevant developers will see your bug report and you will also see the progress of this bug report if it is accepted. -- CPH : openoffice.org contributor Maybe your question has been answered already? http://user-faq.openoffice.org/#FAQ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
