Re: [libreoffice-users] Open .csv by specifying column widths on command line

There may be another answer.

I import semi-colon (;) separated data into Writer, recorded Macro 
filters and tied them together. In my case, I made a Menu which reformat 
the data fields.

See the example below from URL:
