plain text format in spreadsheet cell

[Michel Zohar]

Hi,

I have text data leading by "-" sign, the spreadsheet
automatically check for formula, I wonder how to set the
cell format to be plain text in any input case.
Putting ' before the data is not acceptable.

Thanks

Hi,
I have the same problem as you. The OWC10 Spreadsheet component
doesn;t have the same text format as Excel provides (Numberformat =
"@"). This becomes more of a problem when data is pasted from Excel
into the spreadsheet component. Then any cell that needs to preserve
the text formatting (eg. retain preceding zeroes) needs to have 2
aporstophes in the Excel cell!
Please let me know if there is any workaround to this.
