I see a photograph with some digits in it, and a string of digits in a distorted font. So there are two strings of digits as the OP says, and no instrctions on how to use them. The instructions just say: "Please solve the challenge below, and click the I'm a Human button to get a confirmation code". But they don't actually say how to solve the challenge! Solving the challenge, in my experience with Captchas, is simply typing the two strings of characters (words or numbers) into the input box. Just enter a space to separate the two strings of characters. The challenge, for me at least, is actually being able to read the provided characters! I guess I am just old. :-) If you have the same problem, there is a button to push to get another "challenge". I usually have to click that button 6 or 8 times until I get something I find readable. Hope this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: CALC convert text to numbers
Hello, I can only speak for myself, but numbers get formatted as text in two ways: 1. Import of a tab delimited or csv file. 2. Spreadsheets sent to me from other users who have imported such files. Usually I format the import to avoid the problem, but if I just double click a csv file, it opens with the numbers formatted as text. Visually this is not a problem. But if I then decide I need to edit the sheet I either have to reimport it or reformat the numbers. Hope this explains how it happens to me.

On 11/15/13 4:11 PM, Paul wrote: the behaviour is correct, and consistant with other spreadsheet programs. Sorry, no. The behavior may be correct, but it is not completely consistent with other spreadsheet programs. At least it is not completely consistent with how Excel implements this. In particular, I still am unable to simply paste special a cell containing the number 1 onto a cell (or range of cells) containing a text representation of a number and, using the multiply choice, have that cell's contents converted to a number from text. This is what is done widely among Excel users. Granted the procedure is not intuitive, but it is widely known and used. You may argue that it is behavior that a spreadsheet should not allow and I could be persuaded to agree, however, Libreoffice's behavior here is not consistent with other spreadsheet programs in regard to this feature. In my opinion, Libreoffice does not have to do everything the way Excel does it, but when it differs, we should be clear that it differs. Lastly, this thread has been very valuable to me in that I now have several alternate methods of handling columns of numbers which are wrongly formatted as text. I deeply appreciate this resource.
