Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 21379
Ability to break a column of text into several.

When importing data, the data sometimes may need to be broken down through both separators and fix-width. If this feature were available, the data can first be brought in delimited, then having the columns broken down at specific character locations.
Hi Bettina, 1 4 u Frank
Considered for 'Office later'.
The 'text to column' feature (as it is called in Microsoft Excel) would be a HUGE plus. The ability to break columns either by pre-determined delimiters or at specific character locations is a huge help in increasing spreadsheet-ing productivity.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
