If you have an existing .csv file, OpenOffice assumes you want the same settings, so doesn't ask. When you use File | Save As..., you need to tick "Edit filter settings" at the foot of the Save As dialogue to stimulate the dialogue you need. I trust this helps.

Re: I need help!
I did that and it worked, but when I save it as a csv again, it reverts back to keeping off the leading zeros. I need the file to be saved as a csv for the program we are using. How can I keep the formatting as text?

The first question you need to answer is why you need to keep the data in .csv format. If you save your document as a spreadsheet, your problem will disappear. I am able to get that accomplished in open office, but once I save as a csv file again, it reverts back to the original file where they are hidden. Can someone please help me with this? If you have to use .csv format (and I'm yet to be convinced that you do), the solution is simple: o Ensure the cells containing your codes are formatted as Text. o When saving, in the Export Text File dialogue, ensure "Quote all text cells" is ticked. o When reopening, in the Text Import dialogue, under "Other options", ensure "Quoted field as text" is ticked.

Re: I need help!
One solution is to changes the leading zeros to upper case letter O. Not an ideal solution, but the problem is with the CSV formatter, which treats zip codes as an arithmetic number, where leading zeros have no arithmetic value, so they are omitted.

Hello. I have a csv file that I am trying to edit in openoffice so the leading zeros (for zipcodes) in the file appear. I am able to get that accomplished in open office, but once I save as a csv file again, it reverts back to the original file where they are hidden. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you!

Hi Linda, maybe changing the "After" default in menu item Format->Numbering on the tabpage Options might do what you want.

When the language detection routine misfires, everything is flagged as a spelling error. I'm not at all sure what you are suggesting here. OpenOffice is neither a gun nor an engine, so it won't commonly misfire. And if software does go wrong, you can hardly predict what it will do. We all know that if OpenOffice thinks it has the appropriate dictionary installed, a corrupted user profile can prevent it operating correctly and make it flag all words as misspelled. (And the original questioner confirmed that this was his problem and solution, in fact.) But that's a language *match*, not a mismatch. In the case of a mismatch - surely where there is no dictionary to match the declared language? - nothing is flagged. Even though one could expect it to, simply not having the correct dictionary installed does not create this error. Unless you've seen reports of behaviour the rest of us haven't, that is ... You talk about a language detection routine as if this sets the language for text, but surely it limits itself to the languages it offers in the Status Bar and the menus? Since it doesn't itself set the language, it cannot affect any flagging of supposedly misspelled words.

For what it's worth, this is surely not true? If OpenOffice correctly determines that no spelling dictionary is installed for the marked language of any text, then it will not be able to check the text and should (and generally will) fail to mark anything as misspelled. (You can confirm this very easily by the simple test of marking some text - anything will do - as being in a language for which you do not have a spelling dictionary installed.) That's a different problem from the one described here (where everything, not nothing, is marked as wrong) - which is likely to be caused by corruption of the user profile.
