Hi all,

I am migrating *.txt data from one system to another. There are a lot of
columns with numbers in them (e.g. "1.80")
When I open it with Calc, it converts it to a date (01.01.80).    1.62
becomes 01.01.62, and 2.12 becomes 02.12.07

How do I shut this off?!  I hate automation! I dropped excel, because it
is worse, it was automating everything, like dropping leading zeros, etc.

With the txt or csv import I ensure all fields are defined as "text" and
not as "standard", but Calc displays it as dates despite my definition.

TIA

:-)
Al


I wish all a Prosperous New Year - a quick help will start mine as
prosperous al well.
