I'm a developer but not in the OOo pool, I feel your pain <g>

As I see it this can be solved in 3 ways. 
The M$ way is to make calc detect numbers in text as part of the formula
process, but to leave the fields as text.
The better=than-MS/intuitive/one-time way is to detect such fields on loading,
give a warning message, and convert them.
The lowest-effort (for the OOo team) way is to detect on loading and just warn
(maybe lighlight such fields?) and leave the user to fix them if needed.
