Nice extension. Here are some comments: The close button on the upper right corner (☒) doesn't seem to work. Nothing happens when clicking it. I'm on Ubuntu 8.04, OpenOffice.org 2.4.1. The Close button, the one with the text "Close" on it, works as expected. How can I help translating the extension to Swedish? Maybe off topic, but it would be nice if it was possible to convert numbers to numbers as well, such as the conversion from 20080810 → 39670 (=2008-08-10 if the cell is formatted as the ISO 8601 date format). I actually have a file with such dates. In my case I formatted the cells like 0000"-"00"-"00 to make it look like dates, but now, a few years later, I realize that there are many advantages by converting them to real dates…
