[Solved] Leading zero's auto removed

Post by cortical »

Hi,

a table in Writer, I want to input
0010
0020

but the entries convert to
10
20
as soon as I exit the cel

if I enter
0010,
0020,

the leading zeros are retained. So obxiously it is differentiating between number and text strings. Where do I look to control this behavior?

Chris

Right click in the table, then Number Recognition: OFF (unchecked).
