Screenshot of the problem in LO 5.4

1, Start File - Wizards - Address Data Source.
2, Select Other external data source on the first page
3, Push Settings on the second page
4, The Data Source Properties window opens, where you can select the type of
the data source to be set up.
The default setting here is dBASE.

I think nowadays dBASE is less used it once was. 
There could be a better default choice, that is more probable to be wanted by
users.
My experience is that people usually use this dialog to set up Mail Merge data
sources, and for that, they would want to use Spreadsheets. Maybe this could be
a  better default than dBASE.
