Automatic Date in table

Hello everybody,

I am a recently new user of OpenOffice for my job. I have a little problème.

I want to put in a cell of a table " 1.1 "

But when I change the cell ... it changes it into 01/01/2006 ... in date.

I can't find where to change it, do somebody can help me ?

Thx a lot.

Tools > Options... Writer > Table

Uncheck "Input in Tables" / "Number Recognition" to disable all automagic formatting.

If you like, you can try only turning off the "Number format recognition" but I find that I virtually always want to set my table formatting manually and the automatic stuff just gets in the way. In fact, I thought the automatic formatting was supposed to get turned off by default in 2.0... I guess not.
