Re: [libreoffice-users] Currency conversion/display in calc

Hi Steve,

I only have 4.0.1.2 installed, but my guess is that with the comma in 
there, or possibly the dollar sign, or maybe both, when you are pasting 
it, calc thinks it is text and not a number. That causes the left 
alignment and not being dividable since text can't be divided.
