libreoffice calc unreadable cells are far too tiny when I import a CSV file
Background / Problem Description
-------
When I open a CSV file (all completed payments in CSV format from PayPal) in LibreOffice 3.3.2, the file imports OK (or seems to), BUT ALL CELLS are microscopically small!
Selecting the entire worksheet and changing fonts (Arial / 10pt, NewCourier / 12pt) does not change anything. If I right click on the left hand border of the worksheet and select ROW HEIGHT and manually set the row height to some value (e.g. 0.20" and check the Default box), NOTHING changes!
I had *just* installed libreoffice-gnome when this problem occurred. I believe I had previously opened the .csv file without any problems. I will try uninstalling libreoffice-gnome to see if that affects the behavior of calc and will report back.
