Jim,

If you want to clear them during the import dialog, clicking the red dot in the ruler area should clear them. Click again and one is added.

As to how to make OOo forget them altogether the user setting is in:

/home/yours/.openoffice.org/registrymodifications.xcu

or

C:\Documents and Setting\username\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\registrymodifications.xcu

Look for text like:
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Calc/Dialogs/CSVImport"><prop oor:name="FixedWidthList" oor:op="fuse"><value>0;16;33;49;</value>

I monitor and check various networked systems. Part of the process is to
export the information (reports, columnar format) as type .CSV. Then
using OO I import the file. OO will bring up the Text Import screen
which I will verify/select
Then
and process the column information. With V3.2 I would have a clean
identifier slate. With V3.3 it appears that I have the previous
iteration of import specification. I realized this more when I was
performing a similar import which kept returning wrong information. I
finally modified the first record and added a massive number of "x"
characters. When I processed the file, I was able to locate - and
delete/remove - the somewhere in history defined column indicators.
I have searched help ... for information on clearing the delimiter marks
but have not found anything - yet.
Thoughts?


Best regards,
Carl
