Hi :) Ouch. I just tried downloading you new one and opened it without messing around with the settings at all. Sadly it did suffer the problem you are trying to avoid. I don't know if there is a macro method or something that might be useful so i think perhaps post it as a bug-report and see if a kind dev is able to help at all in the next couple of days? There might be some way of locking certain cells or restricting input to a set list or something.
Good luck and apols from Tom :) ----- Original Message ---- > From: John B <jo...@email2.me> > To: users@global.libreoffice.org > Sent: Wed, 29 June, 2011 15:12:03 > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users][windows] Calc: Text & numbers > > Hi Tom > > Tried - as you suggested (ever hopeful) > > It works of course the way I want it, when I do download the new saved > spreadsheet with the autoinput turned Off .
