------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed May 9 23:06:16 +0000 2007 ------- The number of steps involved in opening space or tab delimited text data files in Calc is in my experience the most frustrating feature of OO. It unnecessarily complicates the task during repeated analysis on multiple data files. However, text file opened from Calc is most likely data, on Writer is most likely text. Dragging and dropping a text file into Calc is already implemented consistently with this assumption, and it brings up Calc's text import dialog. If OO must have a single Open dialog that doesn't remember what application it was called from, how about adding an Import function to the File menu where file opened are assumed to be data files? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
