------- Additional comments from oo...@openoffice.org Sun Sep 13 10:38:24 +0000 2009 ------- I've imported some data from a CSV; a column had date values, which got imported like text, ie cell displays right but value is eg. '02/03/2008. This breaks ordering of course, hence I need to get rid of the initial single quote or a way to tell OOo that that value is actually a date val, not just text. Formatting tool does nothing, so that's not the way. Simple straightforward way that works is editing cell value, just deleting initial "'"; thus I'd expect s&r tool to be able to do just the same, on the other ~1000 cells. No way, the 1st "'" can be manually edited but the s&r tool simply doesn't see it. I think that's wrong. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
