Ok, first real issue I've had with LibO...

I have an old phone system that generates reports in CVS format.

OOo always opened these with the number columns formatted as - numbers.

LibO is formatting *some* of them as text fields, and when I change them
to numbers with no decimals (to remove the .00 it is adding to them that
OOo also never did), it adds the stupid ' character to the beginning of
every cell, thus making it impossible to format these as numbers.

How can I easily remove the ' symbol from the beginning of every field?

Never mind - played with the 'Other options' when importing the CSV,
unchecking 'Quoted field as text' and checking 'Detect special numbers'
fixed the import up...
