------- Additional comments from dho...@openoffice.org Mon Nov 1 10:16:31 +0000 2010 ------- My machine and OO is set to UK locale but I often open CSV documents containing content from the USA - in particular dates and currency have locale-specific formats. One can use the "column type" field to correct the format/types of these columns, but this is a bit tedious for a large file. Allowing the user to specify the locale of the entire imported CSV file on the text-import window would allow all the CSV text to be interpreted correctly in most cases, with field-specific settings being the exception. (The only other approach I know of is to change global options in the OO settings, which is really impractical and somewhat confusing.)
