In csv import dialog scroll down the whole preview, so that OOo gets all columns. 2. Mark all column header (where 'Standard' is). You can easily do it: Click on left one; the column becomes black. Scroll to the right. Shift-click on last one; all columns are black. 3. In the drop-down list which is enabled now, choose the item 'text'. All columns will be imported as text. (If you need other formats too, you had to select the columns separately.) - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Users might NOT be aware that something was imported as DATE [IF only some of the numbers happen to be imported as that] 2.) How can one expect that users will perform this complex repetitive task every time they open a CSV-file, when everything should just work perfectly in the first place. I have a rather different perception of user satisfaction and usability. 3.) This issue pops up over and over again. So please do NOT close as WORKSFORME when in fact, it is more appropriate to close as a double of issue 87999.

On the test case, i open OOo, i click on the import, choose the file, click on the select all cell (top left corner cell) and then right click on any cell and select text and press OK, the file is imported, but when i scroll down i see the F84 cell as date when all others are text. *BUT IF* in the import i scroll down the whole preview, where i can preview the future F84 cell, i see the correct value in there (the 27.11) and after import calc keeps the correct format!! so this bug only shows if the user don't preview the value... maybe this is why if i remove one more line from the original csv file, OOo imports the file fine. as almost all users of import will not scroll down in the preview, this bug might show up several times, and as discoleo said, users might not see the bad import and blindly work over and take a long time (if ever) to find the problem. i can reproduce this problem without any problem and i can try to reduce the test case if needed - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

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 - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
