Is there any way to force calc to treat text in a cell as equivalent to
zero when a number is expected? I always thought that this was the
normal presumption, but it appears not to be, at least for LO 3.5.7.2,

In spreadsheets imported from Twin (remember MS_DOS?) I have many cells
marked "xxx.xx", which indicate to the human operator that if there is
to be a numerical entry there, it must be manually supplied, as opposed
to being automatically calculated or transferred. Neither blanks nor
numerical zeros provide the same visual clues.
