Open Office lacking basic functions AGAIN!!
So I have a spreadsheet...
I have a cell in the spreadsheet...
In this Cell there is a number .....£-83.04
I Click on Find and it can't find it... I look at the options (That you DONT need to do in EXCEL btw) and its full of unmeaning full complicated functions that don't make a bit of sense..."backwards" what on earth is that?
Seriously guys, your product is rubbish
btw I do the same search in Excel, finds it first time.... please can you give me the developer who wrote this rubbish as I wish to teach him how to program..

What is the cell format?

You can activate:
search in - formulas

the same as in many other programs, such as in MS Word or Notepad

possible, but why do you use it?
Greetings,

So your say that the currency symbol is the stopper in all this... what a limited program this is!
I think you guys need to develop and extend your ASCII association table. Microsoft have an extended selection catering for pretty much 99% of all symbols and accented characters.
In my eyes (And I will test tonight) this is a lack of thought from the programmer.
Never heard of NetIQuette, is that a new programming language? is it in the English Dictionary so I might find out its meaning. Or is it a word in a foreign language?

Darren,
I've
just tried the very thing and it worked. Maybe you simply mistyped
your query. If it's what you wrote it's text, not a number. If
it's a formatted figure, with a currency symbol, type the number
in the query, without the currency symbol.
And,
by the way, you may want to remember the NetIQuette! ;)
