--- Comment #1 from Lora  Saltis <lora_saltis at yahoo.com> ---


Importing a CSV file from my bank for tax purposes.  The currency fields came
in as text strings.  The only choices to reformat the fields were as dates,
general not as a numeric or currency as a result I was unable to perform
calculations against these fields without first manually striping the string
identify from each field! I see were some one entered a fix request to define
numerics as strings.  This makes absolutely no sense. I am lucky I have a MAC. 
I had to use Apple's Numbers spreadsheet application.  Please rethink this.
