Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I cannot open a csv file in openoffice.  This has similarities with  Bug
#148562.  Nor can I get a consistent behavior from the application,
except for the final outcome of no csv file being loaded.

Scenario 1
Step 1: double click on csv file (of any name):  OpenOffice starts, opens 
"Document Recovery" screen with "Untitled1  Not yet recovered"
Step 2: Click on <Start Recover> : OpenOffice declares "successfully recovered"
Step 3: Click <Finish>: OpenOffice opens a spreadsheet without the data from 
the csv file.

Scenario 2
Step1: Same as above except openoffice starts with a Document Recovery screen 
declaring the following documents will be recovered, and no files are listed.
Step 2: Click <OK>: an empty document (not spreadsheet) opens

Alternative approach:

Step 1: Open OpenOffice spreadsheet from the application menu: openoffice 
starts fine
Step 2: File::Open::Select csv file : go to Document Recovery process described 
above
