Description atha v. 2005-10-28 20:38:20 UTC 
When you try to open a new table from a file other name than for example csv (I tryed it with .tab) then Open Office don't open it.

This file is an normal Plain Text File with tabulators for colums. When I rename it to .csv trhen everything is OK.

It could be of great help if you could attach the sample document to replicate the issue. Further, I tried with a plain text file which was named as test.txt and worked as expected with out any issues.

So - the csv type cannot be auto-detected; particularly since type detection is done office-wide: hence you'll just get it loading in writer.

Instead you need to select File-Type, that's in an expander in the gtk+ file-selector as 'Text/CSV'; or ensure your csv filenames end '.csv' I guess :-)

It's hard to think of a better scheme for handling this really; still it'd be interesting to know what Desktop you're using.
