------- Additional comments from guido...@openoffice.org Mon Jul 26 09:54:43 +0000 2010 ------- A CSV file is made up of fields separated by commas and records separated by newlines. If a field contains spaces, *commas*, newlines or quotation marks it must be enclosed by quotation marks, and the eventual quotation marks doubled. That's it. If a quoted field contains commas, spaces or newlines it must be imported *as is* in a sigle cell. This problem, absent in version 2, is fairly important in Europe, where we use commas as decimal separator. Having read about similar issues, I checked (athough it makes little sense) also that the error shows up with the default character set, here "Europa Occidentale (Windows-1252/winLatin1)". By the way, the import dialog box for CSV files is useless, as the CSV delimiters are well known. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
