I'm new to OO, using 1.1.4 on XP

I opened a Quattro spreadsheet that contained cross tab reports, but it appears all the cross tabs were converted to raw data and not the OO equivalent "Data Pilot" reports. Is this normal, and is there a way to open the file so it converts the cross tabs to active summary tables?

Also, after opening the file, dates were converted from 2005 to 2009. I don't know if this occured immediately or shortly after opening. I had formatted the dates as mo/da/year (no time stamp) and I thought the dates were still 2005 but I wasn't paying very close attention. Then, after playing with the former cross tabs (which I later realized weren't cross tabs but rather just data), I noticed the change in the dates. I was able to correct this easily enough with a replace, but I'm concerned about why this happened in the first place. Any ideas?

No, I don't use Quattro pro at all. You errors sound odd. For the second one, you could check *Tools > Spreadsheet > Calculate > Date* and see if changing that value helps. Or possibly *Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Year*.

If that doesn't work, you should file an issue. You should one issue for each problem.

Borrowed from G. Roderick Singleton:
The best way to have problems such as this evaluated is to file an
issue. If you haven't already registered, do the following:

Go to <www.openoffice.org> click the Register link at the top right of
of the page. Fill in your information and reply to the confirmation
email that will be sent to the address you provided. Once you have
confirmed, go to <www.openoffice.org> again and click on the "Bugs &
Issues" link in the General links box.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
the issue to ensure reproducibility with your examples.

HTH,
