This problem is a show stopper that prevents me and my coworkers from even 
using Open Office.  We have many tab delimited report files that we need to 
open in Calc simply by double clicking on the file through the Windows file 
manager.  I need to associate the ".tab" file type in the Windows file manager 
to open the file in Calc.  Instead, the file opens in Writer.  No disrespect 
to the OO developers, but this shouldn't be considered an enhancement, but 
rather a bug.  If it's not opening the application that I explicitly request, 
that's a bug.  In fact, Calc should be intelligent enough to identify which 
delimiter is being used without even prompting the user (at least for common 
delimiters such as commas (.csv) and tabs (.tab and .tsv)).  Only in cases 
where the delimiter can't be identified, then the user should be prompted.

Another concern is how consistently the OO developers downplay the importance 
of this issue.  There are so many threads of users dealing with this same 
issue, it should just be fixed.  Please don't sentence us to a future with 
MicroSoft!
