Enquoting values may be done by LO, but lots of third party programs do not. Dutch software often produces files with commas for decimal separators and other characters as field separators (e.g. semicolons). As stupid as this may seem, even software provided by the Dutch government (like http://car.infomil.nl) works like this. I'm afraid Calc will be rendered almost useless for Dutch users if un-enquoted commas are treated as field separators... _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
