Hi :)
Where do you get the tab delimited file from? Does it offer a Csv (comma
separated values) option as well? If so then Csv is the more normal method of
transferring data.
Tab delimited, comma delimited, pipe delimited, semicolon delimited, any
char can delimit text tables and there are thousands of different text
table formats out there, not counting those separated by fixed
positions. Calc is supposed to handle all of them as far as they provide
some reasonable pattern. Comma as column delimiter is inapropriate when
decimals have commas.
Any file can have any file name extension (even under Windows).
LibreOffice can open or link any plain text file with any (or none) file
name extension using Writer or Calc as the appropriate component.
