I tried to import a file as csv and used the standard and when the file was
imported, the file contained several fields as date, other as text... so i tried
to enforce the text import for all column, but still i saw several entries as 
date.

i tried to reduce the file to a text case that i will submit next. if i remove
one more line from the top, OOo 2.4.0 opens the file correctly. In the test case
the last line few lines show the problem, where several values are text and one
of then is set as date.

even worst, there isnt any easy fix for the wrong conversion, trying to convert
to text or number gives a totally different result, forcing the user to hand
correct the value

if i set that all column are text, OOo shouldn't try to do ANY detection of
format, so this is a bug

i'm using linux 64bits (slamd64 - slackware in 64bits), but OOo is 32bits, the
binary packaged downloaded from the OOo site. i dont have windows, so i cant
test in another OS
