------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 23 05:30:09 -0800 2005 ------- 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.
