--- Comment #2 from spamaway@ymail.com ---
This exact problem is negatively affecting numerous users within my
organization who have switched over from Excel (which does NOT popup a
unwarranted error message) to Open Office. If cells have expressly been
formated as text, it needlessly creates frustration and confusion to popup a
validation error complaining that an entry isn't a valid formula. Of course
it's not, it doesn't need to be... that's why the cell was formatted as text.

Clearly I'm not going to get all the users being impacted by this to
individually come here and go through the account creation process just to vote
on this issue. Therefore, I wanted to add this comment to make it clear this
problem is affecting more people than might be surmised by simply looking at
the vote total. Please fix this confirmed bug. Thank you.
