Description Parameshwara Bhat 2013-07-26 09:06:56 UTC 
Refer Bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66985 for the background.

in LO, the numbers and dates which are formatted as text  by prepending an apostrophe cannot easily be converted to regular numbers / dates. There is an extension  http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/ct2n-convert-text-to-number-and-dates which already does this. this bug entry proposes to integrate that extension and create an easy to use context menu to warn the user and convert such numbers to number format.
