how import information separated by TAB to SpreadSheet because the writer thing is for him

Asked by Bonillo

When you want import file in text mode to a SpreadSheet the Writer thing is for it. I don't want my file in the Writer but in the speadSheet. Why OpenOffice so intelligent? Make It Simple: I choose the application not it.

The easiest way is
1- open OO spreadsheet
2- File -> Open
3- in the "File type", select second option ("Spreadsheet") and in the combo (by default it says "All files") select Test CVS (it's near the end, so you have to look a bit).
4- select the name of the file you're after and follow the wizard to point out the separator character (tab) and you're done.

Can you help with this problem?
