You can format the column as text which treats new input as literal text but without changing any existing value. If you want numeric text with 10-digits, =TEXT(A1,"0000000000") converts any number in A1 into a text value of the given format. The second argument can be any number format code you would use to format a number in your default locale context. Finally you would paste-special the converted numbers over the original values. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
