When copying from

the 4 columns and pasting them in Calc as Unformatted text separated by

so I have to double-click in each cell, then something that resembles a
' (single quote) appears in front of the number, and delete it.
If I try to copy and paste these ' in the search box to have it

with nothing it does not find them.
How can I easily change the column to simple numbers?

Why not just select the "Detect special numbers" box and let Calc do
its job?
Where is that box? A new feature of version 3.3 possibly?
It is available in the filter box that shows up when you double click on
a .csv file.
I do not know of any other way to get to that screen.
