Hi Jaques,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

>Do you confirm it?

So far I always had TAB and COMMA checked when opening a CSV file. So this
explains that I thought it is a bug, even though it is a feature. Your are very
right: if I uncheck COMMA then Calc behaves as I would expect it. If I save the
CSV file then, the original TAB delimiters are kept.

I researched a lot on this issue, before writing this bug report. However, I
was not aware of the software behavior based on the checkmarks offered by the
import wizard.  

>An other way is, when you save the file xith "Save as", to tick "Edit filter
>settings". After File format confirming, will appears the "Export Text file 
>Options" where you can precise the delimiter.
>Does it work so?

Yes everything works as you explained it. Thanks for clarifying this issue.

Best regards,
Christian
