------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Apr 7 19:01:43 +0000 2008 ------- A similar discussion took place in December on the OOo Sc-mailing list: http://sc.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=dev&msgNo=2751 It was my experience that the automatic date-recognition mechanism will never reach an acceptable level of reliability in true life. It annoys me over and over again when OOo Calc tries to figure out what date it is, when there is really *NO* date. And "outsmarting" the user is a sure way to earn you a lot of anger. It was therefore my belief, that OOo needs a mechanism to set the date-interpretation algorithm (aka which numbers are dates): - e.g. 'dd.mm' should be interpreted as date - others might choose only 'dd/mm' - and still others only 'mm/dd' Indeed, this would give complete control back to the users. Especially users in multi-locale environments would benefit from this feature, but many others would be grateful, too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
