Apache Spreadsheet Issue
On the Apache Spreadsheet (OpenOffice Calc), an equal sign cannot be
entered into a cell. Apparently the program will expect an equation to be
built in the cell when it sees an equal sign. A solution seen on the
internet was to go to File>Autocorrect to fix this but there is no
Autocorrect as an option. My version is 4.1.11. I need the ability to
enter any typewriter character into a cell as text.
Let me know, if you can, what I can do to correct this problem. I thought
that perhaps there is a pay-for version for Apache that has the Autocorrect
function but I saw nothing about that on the internet.
Thank you, Bill

Format your cell as "Text".
