Hi there, the demon of OO.o....  ;-)

interesting stuff happening here..


You are writing... A new OO.o user, have this user used Excel or another
spreadsheet-like app??

My first thought to this is that this user have - in some way -
fiddeling around with the copy and paste-commands in the sheet and with
this action filled the cells with other formats, but that´s maybe a
shoot right out in the blue...

How is the sheet constructed?

for instans... ???

Name         ID-number         Date         Other stuff      Another
other stuff.....  


????

Good luck with the hard work...
