Hi :)
I had a go at using "Fixed width" but then needed to define each width in the 
little box at the bottom which was uncomfortably small on my screen at my 
resolution.  Later on i tried it again and it had remembered the widths i had 
defined last time.  Sadly i could not find the fixed width thing in Base.
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] How to import a txt file into an existing Calc 
sheet?

Using your data, I used
Edit > "paste special"
then chose "unformatted text" from the dialog.  The dialog then wanted to know 
what the separator was. I tried "space" and it inserted data into cells but your 
data has a number spaces so I got many blank cells.

I tried to replace multiple spaces with a comma, and that worked, but your data 
doesn't have a consistent number of separating spaces so that did not appear to 
be useful. I played with it, and I believe if you separate the data items with a 
single space, a tab, or something that Calc likes for a separator you may have 
some luck with "paste special".

Hope this helps.

and is properly formatted automatically by a Text-To Colums setup
already in the MS Excel sheet so all I need to do each day is Refresh
All and select the filename and it pulls in the data in the proper
column.

For the life of me I cannot see how to do this in Calc...and opening
the existing sheet gets the right format, but I'm at a loss of how to
get new data into it without redoing the whole text to columns every
time (not an option due to time constraints here each day when this
has to happen...data is available at 59 past the hour and needs to jut
come in to be used by 15 past the next hour.

Can anyone help with this? As of right now its the one thing keeping
me from dumping the Office 2007 suite.
