------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Oct 25 03:38:39 +0000 2008 ------- blilly: 1. 'enter/edit values quickly and efficiently.[..] I cannot with your proposals.' Why not? You fill a field with the same numeric keypad; and you change field with Tab or the arrow keys, which you need to jump over the dashes, dots or slashes of a string. And, with fields, tabbing from the last field could loop back to the first; string editing does not do that. And fields can be checked: Month cannot exceed 12, Apr.31 does not exist, etc. (Even if you don't make dumb mistakes, you could hit on key twice and enter 'Oct.177' as a string. The Day field will reject 177.) 2. The calendar type could be an option --not (I agree with you) determined by "Language Settings" or "Locale setting". 3. If all you want is display, why even look at the Input line? It's useful only for displaying formulae (since cells show results), and for editing --That's why it's called 'Input line'. I agree that cell and input-line formats should match, but that's a minor problem --until editing is needed. OO has many other more important bugs to fix! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
