------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 2 03:56:46 -0800 2006 ------- I support OpenOffice users in the hope that it will help drive OpenOffice adoption. I have become aware that many people have problems with importing files, especially CSV. First of all, this is what users who call me expect to go to when they want to open a CSV file. They are surprised when I tell them "it's automatic, just file file/open". Secondly, and more seriously, many of these files either don't have the .csv extension or have some other extension. The USER knows that it's a csv file, but OO doesn't. This is causing a lot of anger and frustration. The most common response is "oh, how rubbish, OpenOffice cannot import CSV files". So many calls that I have start off with that. The conversation goes something like: "Is there a workaround to the CSV import problem?" "What problem is that?" (perplexed) "Er... OpenOffice cannot import CSV files?" "Try file/open" "I did, it doesn't work. OpenOffice has a long way to catch up to Microsoft Office". "Does your file have a .csv extension?" "No, why should it? I know that it's a csv file". You get the picture. It would be a huge help and a minor change for us to add an explicit import option that allows users to tell OO what the file format is! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
