Description crxssi 2005-12-06 16:47:52 UTC 
Enhancement request.  This is a suggestion that comes from me and my user base.

In OO Calc, if you enter "1+1" in a cell, it will be treated as a label.  In 
MS-Excel, Lotus123, and Xess, if you enter "1+1", it is treated as a formula and
responds with "2" in the cell.

OO Calc (and Gnumeric) requires that you put an "=" in front of "1+1" to make it
treat it as a formula, which is one extra keystroke.
