------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 24 08:51:42 +0000 2008 ------- It is a frequently reported issue on the support forums that you have no control on the imported data types. I know 5 different ways to import data into Calc (not counting the clipboard). "Menu:Insert>Link to External Data..." is the only method where I can not prevent "1-5" to be imported as date. When I import the very same html-table via clipboard I can pre-set the offending fields to number format "Text". Linking overrides my formatting. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
