Caution
When a number is formatted as text, take care that the cell
containing the number is not used in a formula because Calc
will ignore the value.
Entering dates and times
Select the cell and type the date or time. You can separate the date
elements with a slant (/) or a hyphen (–) or use text such as 10 Oct 03.
Calc recognizes a variety of date formats. You can separate time
elements with colons such as 10:43:45.
Deactivating automatic changes
Calc automatically applies many changes during data input, unless you
deactivate those changes. You can also immediately undo any
automatic changes with Ctrl+Z.
AutoCorrect changes
Automatic correction of typing errors, replacement of straight
quotation marks by curly (custom) quotes, and starting cell content
with an uppercase (capital letter) are controlled by Tools >
AutoCorrect Options. Go to the Custom Quotes, Options, or
Replace tabs to deactivate any of the features that you do not want.
On the Replace tab, you can also delete unwanted word pairs and
add new ones as required.
AutoInput
When you are typing in a cell, Calc automatically suggests matching
input found in the same column. To turn the AutoInput on and off,
set or remove the check mark in front of Tools > Cell Contents >
AutoInput.
Automatic date conversion
Calc automatically converts certain entries to dates. To ensure that
an entry that looks like a date is interpreted as text, type an
apostrophe at the beginning of the entry. The apostrophe is not
displayed in the cell.
Speeding up data entry
Entering data into a spreadsheet can be very labor-intensive, but Calc
provides several tools for removing some of the drudgery from input.
