The problem is that both Writer and Calc accept .txt, according to the selections in the File | Open menu, but there is apparently no way to prevent the .txt from going to Writer from File | Open even if the Spreadsheets list of extensions has been selected.
That does seem like a bug. Not major if the Insert | Sheet from file ... dialog solves the problem, but most people would not think to look there. - Dennis PS: Andrew, did you choose the Spreadsheets case in File | Open ... before picking a .txt file? -----Original Message----- From: Nuno J.

I might be mistaken, but in LibO/OOo importing (opening from non-ODF) is done with File->Open, so the lack of that (Import) menu entry is not such a big issue. -- Nuno J.
