------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 21 12:46:55 -0800 2005 ------- A formula could also be started with the '+', not only the "=" character. (try it in excel ...) BUT, the formula parser of OOO Spreadsheet miss to pay attention when a string is started with a '+' char. This defect, also create a misunderstandig between OOO and Excel: if I save the file in the xls format, and open it simultaneously with Ms Excel, looks what happens in the screenshot, if I simply click on that cell in Ms Excel.... For OOO the cell contains a string, for Excel a formula!! Just as an example of how is annoyng this defect, consider an everyday use of Excel: digiting the sum of some numbers or some cells... without having to digit also that annoying "=" char, that in the european keyboards needs also the shift key!!
